Parsley is a bright green herb, very common in the Meditteranean, Middle Eastern, European and American cuisine. It is very similar in appearance and color to
coriander leaves, or
cilantro, but has a much milder taste. Parsley is used in cooking as well as for garnishing dishes. There are two types of parsley that are used as herbs, flat leaf or Italian parsley and the curly parsley. Other than the appearance, the two types do not have much difference in taste. Due to its high concentration of chlorophyll, parsley is good in fighting bad-breath. In fact, fresh parsley is the best 'cure' for bad
garlic breath.
