Parsley is much more than an attractive garnish and is capable of some downright amazing health benefits. It contains a substance that prevents multiplication of tumor cells, as well as expel worms, relieve gas, and stimulate normal activity of the digestive system. It freshens your breath, and strengthens bladder, kidney, liver, lung, stomach and thyroid function. It can also help with fluid retention, high blood pressure, kidney disease, obesity and prostate disorders. Surprisingly, parsley contains more vitamin C than oranges by weight.
This is SO good to know! I've been putting off making my favorite parsley recipe for months, (Tabouleh with olives, tomatoes, Lots o' parsley and drenched in lemon juice; salt to taste) but now I can't wait to make a huge amount & and spread it around to other family members. What a summer salad jackpot on all of the benefits!
