Parsley can be found on store shelves as a single ingredient cooking herb in both fresh and dried forms. It’s also used frequently in herb blends for seasoning, as a tea to promote detoxification, and parsley growing seeds for keeping your own fresh parsley on hand are widely available too.

Parsley is grown, mostly by small scale farmers, for sale as either a dried or fresh herb. The plant is treated like any other leafy green and is a target for many pest insects, fungi and diseases. As such, parsley is more often than not grown using appropriate pest control methods. Organic farmers have a wide range of approved organic pest and disease control options neem oil, probiotic inoculation, clove oil and much more.

Parsley belongs to the carrot family. Yum!
