Parsley Root — Staff Tips:

What does 4 oz. of parsley root look like? If you’re in the US I’m sure you’ve seen the huge bunches of parsley at the grocery store for a buck. That’ll give you 4 oz. of sprigs to work with. Make sure you pick it over before you throw it in the pot – there’s often wilty bits hiding in the middle, and I know you don’t want those in your soup. Remove the sprigs from the long stems and you’ll be good to go.
Parsley is all kinds of brilliant for us. Give your body a fantastically tasty tonic today!
