Kingston’s bright green and highly nutritious Parsley grows in the moistest drained soil with full amounts of sunlight everyday. Its delicious and vibrant taste is often ignored in its most popular role as a table garnish. Kingston grows parsley year-round to fill the needs of their most important customers.

Parsley dates to ancient Greek and Roman times where it was originally used medicinally rather than for consumption. The plant is native to southern Europe in the Mediterranean region near Greece. Parsley is from the Greek word Petro, which means stone, because parsley was found growing on a rocky hillside. Parsley is available in three varieties: curly, Italian flat leaf and Hamburg. Curly parsley is most commonly used as a garnish due to its appearance and bitter taste while Italian flat leaf packs more flavor, thus adding more to a special dish. Both types, however, are not usually eaten by themselves but as a seasoning in many dishes. The Hamburg variety is not commonly known and the root is used rather than the leaves.
