Parsley (Petroselinum crispum), a biennial herb, has bright green leaves often used used as an herb and a garnish. It is the primary ingredient in "tabouleh".
Parsley root is used as a vegetable. These roots are often used Central and Eastern European soups or stews.
To grow parsley one needs a deep pot in order to accommodate the long taproot. If grown indoors at least five hours of sunlight a day is required.
