Parsley (歐芹)  is an ancient green and a respected addition to many foods. But at other times, its
job is just to make a mealtime plate look pretty. Poor parsley, valued for its looks, then is thrown away.
Yet parsley is a good source of vitamins and other nutrients. The taste is a little strong for some people,
but others chew on parsley to freshen their breath.
     Curly parsley is the king that often ends up being used just for appearance. Flatleaf parsley is easier
to work with for cooking. This kind is often called Italian or French parsley. Do you know about a third
kind of parsley? Hamburg parsley has flat leaves that can be used for the same purposes as other parsley. But hamburg parsley has a large root which is used as a vegetable to add flavor to soups.
     Parsley is used in foods such as tabouli, a traditional Lebanese salad and is often served with lamb,
fish and beef dishes. Parsley is a herb if you use just the greens.If the root is used, then parsley is
considered a vegetable.
     Some gardeners suggest that to get the besttasting parsley, you should plant new seeds every year.
You can get parsley to grow faster by pouring warm water over the seeds. Leave the seeds in the water
overnight. Then you can grow them in containers indoors or plant them outside. Parsley grows best when
temperatures are below twentyone degrees Celsius. It likes to grow in sunny places. The seeds need rich
soil. Plant the seeds about fifteen to twentyfive centimeters apart. Water them regularly during the first
month. After that, parsley does not need very much water. You can harvest parsley by cutting most of
the plant or leave more of the plant in the ground for a second crop.
