5 REASONS TO EAT PARSLEY

1 Parsley contains vitamin K which aids bone health, and vitamin C which is essential for a healthy immune system. 2 Parsley is a great source of beta carotene, an antioxidant that can help protect the body against free-radical damage. 3 Parsley is high in iron. Two tablespoons of parsley provide 2% of your daily iron, so a sprinkling of parsley gives any food a little metallic boost. 4 Apigenin, a compound found in parsley, could have strong anti-cancer properties, a study from the University of Missouri discovered. 5 Eating a bit of fresh parsley after your meal will freshen your breath naturally.
