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.
Parsley owes it's distinctive flavor to apiol, a dimethoxy-methylenedioxy-allylbenzene. Apiol has been used in the illicit production of designer drugs.
Old wives tales and herbalists tout parsley as an aid to abortion,[1] but this link is tenuous.
