Petroselinum crispum

Parsley is actually the world’s most popular herb. It has incredible nutritional properties - it’s packed with vitamins C, B, 12, K, and A. Parsley is even said to help arthritis and heart-related problems. Use your parsley in soups, salads, pasta, tomato sauces, sautés, and more to add oomph to your meal.

Sprouts in: 1 - 3 weeks

Enjoy for: 5 - 12 weeks

• Parsley grows best at 18 - 30 °C / 64 - 86 °F. It may be a bit slow in the beginning, but once it starts it will grow a lot of leaves fast.

• You can start harvesting the leaves one by one in about 1 month from planting the pod, this way a pod may last up to 10 weeks. If doing so, just cut the whole leaf from the base (with the stem).

• If one harvesting event is preferred, then the whole pod should be harvested at once in about 7 weeks after planting.

• If some leaves turn yellow, feel free to cut them off - new leaves will grow soon from their growing point.

• Parsley leaves should never be removed all at once if you want to harvest them gradually. For that just cut each leaf individually.
