The essential herb of the Mediterranean
Native to the eastern Mediterranean basin, Parsley has been cultivated since Greek and Roman antiquity, both as a culinary herb and as a medicinal plant.
Easy to grow in pots, planters or open ground, it provides a continuous harvest for months and sits at the heart of tabbouleh as much as chakchouka.
"Parsley is the green note that wakes every dish."
