7. Acts as an Antioxidant

Most people know parsley as that herb sprig or sprinkle that brings fresh color and flavor to food. It is tempting to think that it does not matter which herb brings the decor to a plate. Parsley brings an antioxidant effect that cannot be ignored, though.  Parsley contains myristicin, an essential oil with anti-inflammatory properties. In studies, myristicin has proven to inhibit the formation and growth of tumors. It is best to choose firm stems with vibrant green leaves to chop and add to food. Refrigerating it upright in a container filled with water and covering it with a plastic bag will preserve it.
