Description
Romans dedicated Parsley to Persephone, queen of the underworld and to funeral rites. It became a staple of Greek funeral rituals and was scattered over graves during funeral ceremonies or planted over them.
There was also the saying, De’eis thai selinon – “to need only parsley,” which was a gentle way of saying someone had “one foot in the grave.”
It’s easy to think of parsley as a garnish to sprinkle over dinner or decorate a serving plate or cheese board, but it’s such a versatile herb. You can add it into a sauce, like chimichurri or pesto, stir it into a grain or bean salad, or throw it into a frittata.

Directions
To make Parsley tea, add 1 teaspoon dried parsley into a tea mesh strainer or infuser ball and place in a cup. Pour boiling hot water on top. Let steep for 5 minutes. Remove strainer and drink.

Uses
- Parsley tea is a great herbal tea that can be used as a mild diuretic. It’s incredibly easy to make and has a grassy, earthy taste.
- The benefits of parsley aren’t limited to the intake of parsley tea! You can get creative with how you incorporate more parsley into your home cooking.
- Make garlic-parsley butter, and apply with abandon to your recipes.
- Parsley is a great herb for adding flavour to tomato dishes, baked potatoes, fish dishes, vegetable dishes and egg dishes.
- Parsley goes great sautéed with shrimp or mixed into a salad with beets
- Parsley makes a great addition to homemade soup stock—just combine it with some potatoes, sweet potatoes, celery, onion, garlic, salt, allspice berries, black pepper, and water, and simmer for an hour.
- You can even make parsley jelly, it goes well with meat dishes—think roasted lamb or ham hock.
