Parsley is an excellent health promoting food that most anyone should add to their diet. It is high in vitamin K, vitamin C, vitamin A, dietary fiber, and phytochemicals. Parsley may hold powerful anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, detox, and skeletal system health boosting properties. It can also be eaten regularly, however, caution is advised for moderation due to its high levels of vitamin K and oxalates; this may cause adverse affects.
