According to the expert, daily consumption of parsley can help nourish the body with rare vitamin K, which is necessary for strengthening bones. This was reported to aif.ru by nutritionist Natalya Denisova, senior researcher at the Federal Research Center for Nutrition and Biotechnology. According to the expert, this herb also contains a record amount of vitamin C.

“100 g of parsley contains 1.5 times the daily requirement of this important vitamin C. Of course, it is unlikely that anyone will eat that much, a medium bunch of parsley usually weighs 50 g, but this is also a good dose. It can be used throughout the day, adding portions to various dishes (hot dishes, salads, soups, smoothies),” Denisova explained.

The nutritionist added that parsley is rich in vitamin B9 (folic acid), which helps prevent the development of cardiovascular diseases. In addition, this green contains potassium and other minerals that are useful for hypertension, as well as unique antioxidants. In addition, parsley contains less than 50 calories, mainly carbohydrates from dietary fiber and water.
