Parsley is a member of the carrot family and is considered an herb, a vegetable, and a spice. It has been an important food for at least 3,000 years. Dried parsley flakes preserve the bright green color and celery-like flavor of the parsley leaf. Parsley has an enhancing flavor and it lightens the taste of garlic and the odor of fish and can be added to almost any food except sweets. It can be generously added to salads, soups, stews, rice, pasta, potatoes, and other cooked foods.
