Description

Flat-leaf parsley, also known as Italian parsley, is an aromatic herb widely used in the cuisines of various cultures for its fresh and slightly citrusy flavor. It is characterized by its large, smooth, deep green leaves, which add a touch of freshness and color to a wide variety of dishes, from soups, salads, and sauces to stews and dressings.

Its origin dates back to the Mediterranean region, especially in areas of Europe and North Africa, where it has been cultivated for centuries for both culinary and medicinal purposes.

Flat-leaf parsley is an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals such as iron and calcium. Furthermore, it contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that may contribute to digestive health and strengthening the immune system.

In different Latin American countries, flat-leaf parsley may be known by other names such as smooth-leaf parsley, flat-leaf parsley, or simply green parsley, distinguishing it from curly parsley, which is another common variety with more curled leaves and a slightly different flavor.
