Growing parsley on a windowsill

Parsley grown in an apartment is able to supply vitamins in winter and spring. The culture is unpretentious, and anyone, even a novice gardener, will be able to grow fragrant and juicy greens on the windowsill. For this to happen for sure, you must be guided by the tips and rules for care.

Parsley bought in the store cannot be compared in terms of usefulness and taste with those greens that are grown independently with caring hands.

Soil preparation and planting

For planting a mini-garden on the windowsill, store soil for violets is suitable. The composition of this soil is good for any greenery, parsley is no exception. If there is no trust in purchased mixtures, then it will not be difficult to prepare the soil yourself. Need to connect fertile land, double superphosphate and potassium salt. A slightly acidic soil enriched with minerals and humus is preferred. Parsley will grow well in a mixture of peat, humus and garden soil in the following proportion: 1-1-2. Phosphorus and potash fertilizers.

The volume of the container for planting is limited, so it is important that the plant receives nutrients throughout its growth. Containers will be needed with a depth of 20-30 cm. These can be boxes, pots, trays. Small drain holes are required.

At the bottom of any container, a layer of stones of 1.5-2 cm is laid. Peat pots also suitable for sowing, but after that you will need to transplant the seedlings into a more spacious container or open ground.

There are two ways to grow parsley at home:

• from seeds;
• from the roots.

In the first method, the crop is harvested 40-60 days after sowing. The right seeds are half the battle. Experienced gardeners, when growing greenery at home, prefer early varieties.

The curly variety of greens perfectly tolerates dry air and short-term lack of watering. Just such conditions are often found on window sills during the heating period.

To speed up the spitting of seeds, they are soaked for 24 hours in water at a temperature of 37-40, which must be changed every 3-4 hours. Then it is necessary to disinfect the planting material in a manganese solution.

Sequence of actions for landing:

• make holes with a distance of 50 mm from each other, 6-15 mm deep;
• spill every hole with water;
• spread the seeds and sprinkle with soil;
• water the entire planting again with water;
• cover the sowing with a film and put it on the windowsill, it is desirable to maintain the temperature in the region of 17-20 degrees.

Until the first sprouts hatch, you need to moisten the earth as it dries. Mold on the soil in damp conditions is also undesirable, therefore ventilation is also needed. The first shoots grow quickly and the film is no longer needed. During this period, it is again necessary to monitor watering. Irrigation is recommended 2-3 times a week.

The second method of planting with roots is easier. The first leaves are harvested in 15 days. Large and healthy roots weighing 65-70 grams for planting are the key to a plentiful and healthy harvest.

Before planting, long roots are not tucked, but cut with a sharp blade so that 12-16 cm remain to the top. The cuts are sprinkled with ash or crushed coal.

For fast rooting, use Kornevin.

The order of disembarkation in containers or pots is as follows:

• gaps of 3 cm are left between the roots;
• the top must necessarily stick out of the soil;
• containers with landing are placed in a darkened place with a temperature of 11-16 degrees. This is needed to root system started to grow.

The first leaves are a sign of rooting, which means you can put a mini-garden on the windowsill at a temperature of 20 degrees. The parsley can now be fed and watered.

Caring for parsley at home

How to care for parsley on the window while it is growing intensively? Juicy, spreading and bright green will definitely succeed at a home gardener if he applies the following rules of care:

• watering is carried out with settled warm water, raw - contains impurities undesirable for the growth of greens;
• in the heat from the sun or heating, spray the plantings;
• if a crust has formed on the surface of the earth, then it must be carefully loosened.

Parsley needs a 13 hour light regime for the growth of a sprawling bush. With a lack of lighting, LEDs or white fluorescent lamps are used. It is important to follow this recommendation during the leaf formation stage.

The first crop from planting in this way is harvested with a shoot length of 10-18 cm, when there are already young low shoots. The cut is made from the lowest leaves, leaving the stems 3-6 cm.

Careful care and proper collection will allow you to get a harvest of greenery all year round.

Growing parsley outdoors from seeds

Parsley is great for outdoor cultivation. Sowing can be done several times per season. The seeds of this spicy greenery germinate in 20-25 days, but there is a way to speed up this process by special treatment before planting.

Seed preparation for sowing

It is better to take the planting material not fresh, but with a collection period last year before last - they have more growth energy.

In order for the parsley to sprout faster, the seeds are pre-prepared for sowing. To do this, they are soaked in warm water, which is changed every 4-5 hours. After two or three days, the seeds are placed in a growth stimulator for 24 hours.

There are other ways to accelerate germination:

1. 2-3 weeks before planting, the seeds are placed in a cotton bag and buried in the ground to a depth of 20-30 cm. Before sowing, they are dried on paper until they begin to crumble in the hands. This method will allow you to get the first shoots on the fifth day;
2. soaking in vodka. Ethyl dissolves well the esters on the seeds, which prevent moisture penetration. For this method, you need to pour vodka into a saucer and place the seeds there, previously wrapped in gauze. Necessarily after 15-20 minutes, the planting material is taken out and washed well in running water... Otherwise, the seeds may burn. After drying, you can start planting;
3. soaking using ash. In a 1 liter jar, place 2 tablespoons of ash and fill it with water just above room temperature. From time to time the solution is stirred, after 2 days the seeds are placed inside the jar in a gauze bundle for 5 hours.

If parsley is needed for sale in large quantities, it is recommended to force germination.

This is done like this:

• seeds are soaked in milk 2 hours before planting;
• quicklime is introduced into the furrow in moderation;
• the moistened seeds are laid in a garden bed, sprinkled with water;
• the furrows fill up and slightly compact the soil.

Seedlings may appear already on next day.

Planting scheme

It is convenient to plant parsley in grooves, no more than 2 cm deep. Sowing can be done in a solid line, then thinning will be needed. This can be avoided by immediately planting the seed 7-18 cm apart, depending on the variety.

Before filling the seeds, the grooves are shed with water. Then, they are covered with soil and watered again.

After the first leaves, seedlings are thinned out. At the same time, the gaps are left at 3 cm. After 10-16 days, the parsley is pulled out, leaving a gap of 10-15 cm. At the same time, all the greens removed from the beds are successfully eaten.

Seed planting dates

For the germination of greens, a temperature of 20-24 degrees is needed. Therefore, it is recommended to cover the soil with foil after sowing. In this case, you need to ventilate the landing, raise the shelter for a short time.

You can sow parsley before winter. Then the seeds are laid in the beds in the second half of October and before the first frost, warming the crops from above with peat. Additionally, later planting is covered with snow. With the arrival of spring, already at a temperature of 4 degrees, the sprouts begin to get under way. At this time, you can cover the future harvest with foil.

Care during cultivation

After the first appearance of greenery on the surface of the soil, the film must be removed to give more light to the seedlings. At the same time, the greens will not freeze, because they can withstand up to 9 degrees of frost.

For a bountiful harvest, perform simple rules leaving:

1. thin out the first shoots so that 18 cm remain between leaf varieties, 7-15 cm between root varieties.
2. for uninterrupted harvest, seeds are sown every 1-2 weeks;
3. be sure to loosen heavy soil;
4. weed control will help your crop grow strong and healthy.

It has been noticed that the taste of parsley depends on the timeliness of watering. Bright and juicy leaves of a culture if it received enough water throughout its growth. To grow greens for further drying, you need to limit watering. Thus, the seasoning will be more aromatic, although the leaves will become stiff.

Watering and feeding

Top dressing is carried out in conjunction with watering. It is enough to apply fertilizers once or twice a season. Saltpeter is suitable (5-7 grams per 1 square meter). A nitrogen supplement can be added in the same amount.

At the beginning of growth, root parsley needs complex fertilizers, closer to autumn, phosphorus and potash fertilizers are ideal. They are prepared according to this recipe: 7 grams of superphosphate is mixed with 5 grams of potassium salt. The mixture is enough for 1 sq. meter of soil.

Growing parsley in the open field from root crops

Fast and reliable method that does not require time to germinate the seed. For the growth of the roots, it is necessary to create favorable conditions and proper care.

Planting parsley in the ground

The strongest and healthiest roots are selected for planting. Their thickness is from 2 to 5 cm, the permissible length is no more than 8 cm. Too long specimens can be shortened with a knife blade. In this case, the cut is processed with coal. Root crops should be smooth without haulm. Before planting, they are kept at a temperature of +2 degrees in the sand.

When to plant parsley

You can start planting in open ground from April to June.

How to plant parsley

For planting, it is better to choose sunny places with shading. The soil must be sufficiently drained, if this is not the case, then sand must be added to it.

In the selected area, narrow grooves are made at intervals of 15-16 cm, they are watered with water. The roots are removed from the sand and placed on the beds in rows at an angle of 45 degrees. A distance of 5 cm should remain between the crops. When falling asleep on the surface, the tip of the root should stick out by 2 cm. After that, the earth is compacted and spilled abundantly with water.

Caring for parsley in the ground

In order for the disembarkation to take root, the temperature must be kept at least 15 degrees. After emergence, the leaves are regularly sprayed with water. Ripe greens 25 cm high can be cut. The soil must be constantly loosened for oxygen to reach the roots. Weeds that take away nutrients from the culture must be destroyed in a timely manner.

Watering and feeding

Root parsley loves watering, they need to be done before the end of August. If the summer is hot, then essential oils accumulate under the heat. The greens give off a more intense aroma, but the taste suffers and the shoots are rough. Therefore, special attention should be paid to irrigation in drought. In a rainy summer, parsley may have a faint aroma, but the leaves are tender and soft.

When correct technique planting and leaving the first crop is harvested after 30 days.

Collecting and storing parsley

For fresh consumption, parsley is collected from the beds as needed. For short-term storage, use a refrigerator and special bags for vegetables. After cutting the greens from the outlet, after a while a new seasoning grows. The roots of the culture are harvested before the onset of frost, when the temperature is below 5 degrees. Harvested crop less storage at higher temperatures.

In order for the leaves of the plant to be more fragrant, it is necessary to sharply reduce watering in 8-15 days.

For long-term storage, greens can be dried. For this, the leaves are collected in dry weather during the period of the day when the dew has just disappeared. It is desirable that the plant has not bloomed yet.

Choose only strong and green shoots. After washing, the leaves are laid out on paper.

To dry the roots, they are first washed well, peeled off the upper thin skin and cut into thin circles or strips. Parsley is dried in the air, in the oven or in special apparatus. Whole root vegetables are stored in the sand in basements.

Salt serves as a good preservative for parsley as well. Greens are cut or torn into pieces, poured together with salt in jars. The workpiece is tamped well. It turns out to be an excellent addition to salads, the main thing is not to add salt to the dishes.

You can also freeze the green seasoning. For this, strong shoots are washed, dried a little and placed in bags or containers for freezing.

You can get a great salad dressing by chopping the herbs and tamping them into a jar. Then, on top, pour refined oil over everything so that it covers all the greens. You need to store such a dressing in the refrigerator.

Getting parsley seeds yourself

The culture that is grown for the sake of seeds is called the seed plant. The soil for growing them does not need to be very fertile. So, the growing period will increase, and the seeds will not have time to ripen. The testes must be healthy, free from defects and deformities.

To avoid cross-pollination, leaf and root parsley should be planted away from each other.

In autumn, the healthiest and most beautiful roots are chosen and stored at a temperature of 0-2 degrees in a container with sand. In the spring, planting material is well inspected and rotten or withered specimens are thrown away. The remaining roots are transferred to a warmer room, where after a while shoots form on them. Then the testes are planted in the beds. All summer long they are looked after like ordinary parsley. Flowering will come in 40-43 days. Further, it will take 120-130 days for the seeds to ripen.

The collected seeds are sorted out and stored in a ventilated, shaded place, out of sunlight. It is unacceptable to dry the planting material in the oven.

After that, the seeds are placed in jars or paper bags. Store in a room with an air temperature of no more than 5 degrees. A good place is a cellar or refrigerator door. You should monitor the humidity, with its high germination rates planting material will go down.

With the correct storage rates, seeds can remain viable for two to four years.

What to plant after parsley

After the parsley, it is good to plant vegetables in the soil - cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, peppers. Soil is not recommended for any other greenery.

It is undesirable to sow parsley itself in place of the previous growth of dill, sorrel, lettuce, cilantro, wild garlic.

Pests and diseases of parsley

Parsley greens and roots are rarely infested with diseases and pests. It's all about insect repellent essential oils.

There are such diseases that affect the plant:

1. powdery mildew is false. The fungus is recognized by white spots that grow together after a certain time. Only leaves are affected, but at the same time, in root varieties, the root crop will be small and underdeveloped;
2. white rot destroys the root, gradually eats away;
3. rust - visible on the underside of the leaves in the form of brown or yellow spots. Most often, the bushes of greenery are infected in the summer;
4. white spot is a fungal disease that manifests itself on the leaves as numerous rounded spots of a blurred shape. Color - yellow with dark brown edging. In a neglected form, the leaves turn yellow and dry;
5. a disease caused by a fungus - leaf cercospora. Symptoms are brown or yellow elongated, depressed spots on the shoots of the plant.

Parsley is rare, but such insects can attack:

1. Carrot fly. In the roots, the insect makes passages. The leaves turn red with a purple tint, then turn yellow and dry.
2. Stem nematode. Adults and their larvae feed on sap. As a result, the plant stagnates and becomes disfigured.
3. Melon aphid. Occupies the underside of leaves, settling on a plant with a whole colony. Insects feed on parsley juices, causing the leaves to shrivel and dry out.
4. The beetle is a light green insect, the larvae are yellow. They feed on plant juices.

Protective measures will prevent disease and insect attacks. One of the most environmentally friendly ways is the correct selection of the variety of parsley. It is important that it is resistant to diseases, these include: Moskrause, Element, Natalka, Fresco, Titan, Fakir, Darke, Novas.

The following measures will enhance disease resistance:

• sowing in early dates;
• avoiding the presence of conifers nearby;
• it is preferable to choose dry and light soil;
• acidic soils need to be limed.

The most whole and strongest seeds collected from a healthy plant should be used as planting material. It is recommended to calibrate in this way:

• prepare a solution of salt and 2% ammonium nitrate;
• immerse the seeds in a glass with the prepared liquid and mix;
• after 3-5 minutes, select the seeds at the bottom and use them for planting.

Seed on the surface is not suitable for sowing.

Heat treatment is used for disinfection and disinfection. To do this, the seeds are placed in water with a temperature of 50-52 degrees and removed from there after 25 minutes.

You can also disinfect with such a solution: one part of formalin is taken for 300 parts of water. In the resulting liquid, the seeds are dipped in gauze for 5 minutes. After, it is placed for 2 hours under a tarp or film. This procedure is recommended to be done 1-2 days before the planned planting, not later - otherwise germination will decrease.

What does curly parsley look like in the photo?

Parsley prefers loose, fertile, neutral or slightly acidic soil. It grows successfully both in sunny and light shaded places.

Excessive soil density leads to deformities of root crops, the seeds germinate worse and slower.

We can apply to the cultivation of leafy parsley and the seedling method. Germinated seeds first grow in peat cups or tablets, and in April, at the age of 30–40 days, they are transplanted into open ground. As a result of using this technique, you can get early greens and spend up to six collections in the summer season.

Therefore, the cultivation of parsley in the open field is carried out with two goals:

• Curly parsley is excellent for decorating dishes, due to its decorative appearance, and in addition has a pleasant strong aroma and delicate taste. After cutting, the greens grow back very quickly - another crop can be harvested before the end of the season. The cut leaves do not turn yellow for about a week, retaining their taste and persistent aroma.
• Before choosing the best varieties of parsley for your garden, you should decide for what purposes you are going to grow it. If you need roots for cooking and medicinal concoctions, plant root parsley, or leaf parsley for aromatic, lush greens. Among gardeners, root parsley is more popular, since not only roots can be obtained from it, but also a certain amount of greenery, however, it is worth considering that with frequent foliage breaking, the root part remains small and frail. So choose what is more important to you - tops or roots?

Before planting parsley, a place for future beds is being prepared in the fall. In order for the harvest of spectacular greens in the next season to be friendly and abundant, it is better to set up a plantation for parsley in an area where cabbage, cucumbers or other types of pumpkins, potatoes, eggplants or tomatoes were previously grown. If you sow curly parsley in the place of related plants, you can involuntarily reduce the yield, since pathogens of diseases dangerous for the culture and larvae of pests can remain in the soil.

• The history of a person's acquaintance with this culture begins in the Mediterranean countries and dates back to the era of the construction of the pyramids and ancient Greece. Parsley earned the greatest recognition later, among the Romans, who introduced the other Europeans to the spicy herb. The Latin name for parsley, Petroselinum crispum, can most likely be translated as curly celery growing on rocks. This speaks of the similarity of cultures, but does not mean at all that already in Ancient Rome one could see the modern curly parsley, which is well known to gardeners all over the world.

Caring for parsley is reduced to thinning, top dressing, loosening, weeding and watering. During the summer, the soil is periodically loosened by pulling out the weeds. To obtain larger root crops, the plants are thinned twice. At the first thinning after parsley shoots, the distance between the plants is brought to 2.5 cm.The second thinning is carried out two weeks later, bringing the distance between the plants to 4-7 cm.

Until a full-fledged leaf outlet is formed, parsley is fed twice with infusion of mullein or compost. For 8-10 liters of water, take 1 kg of organic matter, about 15 grams of superphosphate and the same amount of potassium sulfate. In August, plants, especially those grown for root crops, should no longer receive nitrogen-containing fertilizers so that this element does not accumulate in the roots and aboveground parts of the plant.

Without preliminary preparation, parsley seeds hatch extremely slowly. How much does parsley grow? This usually happens no earlier than 2-3 weeks later. Sowing material collected no earlier than a year ago possesses higher growth energy and germination, but in this case germination can be accelerated:

The peculiarity of parsley is that in the first season all the forces of the plant go to the growth of both foliage and root. If the root crop is planted in the second year or left to winter, a rosette of leaves will appear in April, and parsley will bloom in summer.

Since the culture has good frost resistance, it is possible to sow seeds in open ground from the second half of April. You can sow curly parsley until August. And before winter, dry seeds are buried in the ground until November, with the expectation that shoots and juicy greens will appear in early spring.

Interestingly, the spread of curly spicy herbs, for example, in the UK was not at all spectacular foliage or great taste. Even in the Middle Ages, planting plants with smooth foliage in beds was primarily feared because of their resemblance to the dangerous weed Aethusa Cynapium or dog parsley, which grew in abundance everywhere.

Breeding parsley

Parsley is planted in boxes at a distance of 3-4 cm from each other in a row, with a distance between rows of 8-10 cm. When growing parsley in flower pots, 2-3 root crops are planted in a medium-sized pot. Boxes or pots are placed on a light windowsill and watered once a week, avoiding waterlogging. At an air temperature of about + 22 ° C, greens are ready for cutting in 15-20 days.

• Parsley tolerates hot days well, but greens devoid of moisture become noticeably coarser and tougher, but accumulate aromas and essential oils better:
• The water in the seed container is changed every 3-4 hours.

Planting and caring for parsley outdoors

With the onset of spring and the melting of the snow, the mulch is removed, and a film shelter is made over the beds. How long to wait for the leaves to appear, and how much parsley sprout in this case? Fresh parsley will go to the table in April, and the leaves can be cut off until the flower stem rises above the outlet.

The variety is prized for its lush, aromatic greenery and high yield. Parsley reaches technical ripeness in 70 days, as the seedlings look. The highly developed rosette consists of a large number of smooth dark green leaves with a strong dissection. One outlet can contain from 30 to 100 leaves. The roots are not used for food.

After 95-100 days from the time the first plants emerge, the variety is ready for use. In a spreading rosette, there are from 20 to 40 leaves, the root crop grows up to 30 cm long, has a conical, pointed shape and a grayish-white color. Inside, the roots of Sugar Parsley are white, with a light yellow heart. It is widely distributed due to its excellent taste.

Furrows 0.6–1.2 cm deep are made at a distance of 7–10 cm from each other, and seeds are lowered into the ground at the same distance. In open ground in one hole, you can sow 2-3 seeds in order to thin out the plantings later and choose the strongest shoots. After the parsley is planted, the beds are carefully watered so as not to erode the soil, and mulch. If the spring is prolonged, and the danger of frost has not passed, it is better to cover the beds with foil.

• To understand what curly parsley looks like, you just need to glance at the photo depicting both leafy species side by side. Such a plant cannot be confused with any cultivated or wild-growing relative. In ordinary garden parsley, the lower leaves, forming a basal rosette, have a triangular shape, blunt toothed ends and a smooth leaf plate of a dark green hue.
• Parsley is a good herb, but you have to be careful with it, it still has contraindications!
• (Root) - mid-ripening variety, lying, root crop length 20-30 cm, yellowish-white flesh.
• Parsley is propagated by seeds. At the beginning of full ripeness in the second year, the seeds are harvested. To do this, leave the heads with seeds on the parsley. Mow or cut the parsley and put to dry in rows, after a few days thresh the dry plants, then dry the seeds and remove unnecessary husks.

Parsley is consumed fresh, dried and salted, for salads (leaves), as an addition to side dishes and soups (leaves and roots). Freshly frozen (crushed with a small amount of water in the form) parsley completely retains its nutritional and healing properties throughout the year.

If the parsley is to be eaten fresh, the plant needs watering to provide 60–70% soil moisture.

After 2-3 days, it is left in a solution of a growth stimulator or microelements for another 18 hours. It is better if oxygen is passed through the liquid at this time, which will speed up the process of pecking the seed.

If the parsley is not left in the soil for the winter, then the roots stored in the basement in early spring:

Parsley can be root and leaf. Leaf parsley is the familiar parsley or curly parsley. Leaf parsley is eaten only on leaves, roots are not consumed. Root parsley is distinguished by its large, thick root vegetable, it is used in sauces and for salting. Root parsley greens can also be eaten, but they taste rougher and should not be plucked until the root vegetable is fully ripe, otherwise it will turn out to be small and frail.

Cold-resistant parsley can be harvested until late autumn, until frost begins.

When planting parsley in open ground with seeds, about 1 gram of prepared seeds is required per square meter of the ridge. If the culture is sown in the summer, then before planting in the soil, the ridges are watered abundantly, and the number of seeds per square meter is increased by a third.

Leaf parsley, in turn, is divided into ordinary leafy (with smooth leaves) and curly leafy (curly slightly corrugated leaves.) The seeding depth of parsley during spring or summer sowing is 6-10 mm, in autumn the grooves are made twice as deep. In the meantime, there is no need to know about it. ”

The main method is planting parsley seeds in open ground. It is important to take into account that the culture is not fast germinating. Therefore, parsley is often sown with sprouted seeds from early spring to July. In this case, the culture has time to give one harvest and can successfully overwinter.Without parsley, it is difficult to imagine a small gardener's garden and the fields of a modern farm. Parsley, which became a valuable agricultural crop in ancient times, gradually spread from the shores of the Mediterranean Sea to almost all continents.

Root parsley is harvested in the fall, before frost, the leaves are cut, stored in a cool place, sprinkled with sand (like carrots). You do not need to dig up the root parsley, then in early spring, when the snow melts, you will get fresh greens. Parsley root vegetables can be used in winter for forcing greens in pots by the window.

Parsley is a very hardy plant, so fresh greens can be obtained from the garden from early spring to late autumn, until it snows. To obtain young greenery, many gardeners use the so-called conveyor method, in which the seeds are sown at intervals of 2-3 weeks and can continue until late autumn (suitable for leaf parsley). In the meantime, there is no need to know about it. ” Fig. Growing parsleyAfter planting parsley in open ground with seeds and dusting the furrows, the soil is slightly compacted, watering of the plantings is carried out, which are mulched on top or covered with a film.Root varieties are sown no later than mid-May so that the parsley has time to form a full-fledged root crop. In Russia, both leaf and root parsley are planted, and both varieties with the usual leaf shape and with curly ones are grown on greens.The roots of parsley, although edible, look unappetizing, remain thin and harsh. They grow leafy parsley for the sake of greenery. There are two varieties of it: parsley with ordinary leaves and curly parsley, the corrugated leaves of which resemble curls.

Root parsley is the most widespread crop in our country. She uses both the root crop and the leaves for food. In leafy parsley, only the leaves are edible; the roots have no food consumption.

When choosing a site for planting and caring for parsley in the open field, it is better to give preference to the beds where zucchini, pumpkins, cucumbers or tomatoes used to grow. Re-sowing after parsley or other umbellates is carried out after three to four years. For parsley, especially root varieties, you need a loose, cultivated soil rich in organic matter.

Dry seeds fall into the soil before winter. In this case, they are buried in the ground from the second half of October until the very frost, and when the snow cover is established, they are additionally covered with snow. In the spring, such crops begin to develop already at 4 ° C, can be grown under a film or in the open field, since parsley grown in the open field is not afraid of even frosts down to -9 ° C.

You can distinguish a root crop from a leaf one by a dense, conical, even root crop, like the leaves, rich in vitamins, sugars, aromatic substances and trace elements. Leaf parsley has thinner and more branched roots. Greens are produced by both types of plants.

Parsley seeds, essential oil and roots are found in popular spice blends.

Useful properties of parsley:

A sprig of parsley is not only a decoration on a plate. Parsley contains a lot of nutrients. The content of vitamin C in 150 g of its leaves is not less than in the same amount of black currant or orange fruits. 2 tablespoons of parsley containing 9.97 mg of ascorbic acid will provide 16.6% of its daily requirement. Being a powerful antioxidant that protects the body from free radicals, vitamin C helps prevent the development and progression of atherosclerosis, diabetes, asthma. Vitamin C is required by the body for healthy functioning immune system... Its powerful anti-inflammatory properties are shown not only in the fight against colds, recurrent ear infections, but also in rheumatoid arthritis.

Another important antioxidant that gives the beneficial properties of parsley is beta-carotene, which is converted in the body to vitamin A. The need for vitamin A to strengthen and normalize the immune system is so great that doctors sometimes call it "anti-infectious vitamin."

Among other plant foods, parsley stands out for its high content of vitamin K: in 30 g of fresh herbs it contains 123 mcg, or 153.8% of the daily value.

It is believed that parsley can cause some complications during pregnancy, and moreover, it can even provoke a miscarriage. Such discussions can be seen many times on the forums.

Most likely in these cases there is simply poor-quality greens, stuffed with nitrates and other "chemistry".

It is worth remembering that the harm of parsley can manifest itself when it is not grown properly. It is strictly forbidden to eat greens grown on roadside plots, and rinse thoroughly before adding to soup or salad.

What did Rospotrebnadzor find dangerous in curly parsley and cumin?

Russia, unlike many european countries, a variety of edible spicy herbs cannot boast. Our own reserves can be easily counted: parsley, dill, green onions, cilantro (and even then, not everywhere), basil. Perhaps that's all.

Therefore, when on June 6 Rospotrebnadzor ranked curled parsley to the list of plants containing potent narcotic and poisonous substances (not all parsley is included in the list, but its fruits, from which, as it turned out, it is possible to prepare oil that is dangerous to human health), not only gardeners were thoughtful but also chefs.

Moreover, along with curly parsley, the list of dangerous plants was supplemented by another 17 representatives of the flora, including Persian bunium - a popular spice, also known as zira. All parts of the plant are listed. And, as you know, Central Asian pilaf, for example, is unthinkable without cumin.

The list of prohibited plants also includes the mint quinoa, articulated barnacle, wrinkled multicolor, colocynth and two types of calamus: cereal and marsh. There are currently 352 plant species on this list. Changes were made to SanPiN "Hygienic Requirements for Safety and Nutritional Value of Food products in 2011."

The head of the State Drug Control Service, Viktor Ivanov, said in an interview with RBC that parsley could disappear from store shelves after a government decree. He noted that banned plants are included in a special list, which is approved by the relevant decree, and as soon as the decree "includes a plant in the lists, it will not be able to be in civil circulation."

Let's see what is dangerous in curled parsley.

The harmful substance in question is an essential oil derived from parsley seeds. It has been used in mainstream medicine for a long time. The oil has a diuretic property, therefore it is used for renal and cardiovascular diseases, for urolithiasis, cystitis, urethritis. Seeds are prescribed for certain menstrual irregularities, prostate inflammation and as a diaphoretic.

In the comments, generously scattered across the Runet, questions are asked, thunderous laughter is heard and there is not even a hint of answers:

Can the AIF.RU.Kitchen resource publish recipes containing curly parsley and zira as ingredients?

Can our readers add and use recipes with new "drugs"?

What punishment awaits us if we still continue to eat them, popularize and recommend

to others?

Where can I see the regulatory documents regarding curly parsley and other sufferers and their use without punishment?

The editors of AIF.RU.Kitchen sent a letter to Control

The Federal Drug Control Service of Russia in Moscow with a request to explain to us what awaits everyone who loves parsley and cumin in the near culinary future. Then they tried to get an answer over the phone for two days ...

Finally, the head of the press center of the Federal Drug Control Service in Moscow Maria Lutsenko explained to AIF.RU.Kukhnya: “While there is no Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation on the inclusion of parsley, cumin and other plants in the list of narcotic substances, we have no action

we do not undertake ".

In general, dear readers, while we continue to enjoy the Central Asian pilaf with cumin and salads with curly parsley - with pleasure and with impunity. Enjoy your meal!

About parsley and laws

Arthur Basistov

Lawyer, partner of the Bar Association

First of all, neither Mr. Onishchenko himself nor the department headed by him have the authority to determine the status of a substance or plant as a drug or psychotropic, actions with which have a consequence criminal liability... This, by virtue of the law, falls within the competence of the federal government, with an eye to the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs and UN INCB documents. In turn, the Government of the Russian Federation adopted and then repeatedly amended / supplemented Decree No. 681 of 30.06.1998 “On Approving the List of Narcotic Drugs, Psychotropic Substances and Their Precursors Subject to Control in the Russian Federation”. This is what is on the government-approved list refers to substances that are restricted or prohibited from circulation and which require extra care when handling them. Parsley is not on the list, even in the latest edition of this year's list. Neither curly, nor smooth-haired, nor bald, not at all. Therefore, regardless of the degree of curliness, you can safely grow and buy it. There is also a reference to a regulation, the content of which was regarded by some hotheads as equalizing the status of curly parsley and cannabis. Search not long: this document. Therefore, changes to SanPin 2.3.2.1078-01 "Hygienic requirements for the safety and nutritional value of food products." A simple analysis of the letters leads to the conclusion that in section 1 of Appendix 5B to this SanPin, "Plants containing potent, narcotic or poisonous substances" was supplemented, inter alia, with item number 352: Curly parsley ..... Petroselinum crispuma A.W. Hill ...... Fruit (essential oil). By the way, in this list of terrible narcotic plants there are, for example, quite unambiguous poisonous dope and cicuta, but there are also barberry and nutmeg. What does the appearance of this or that position in Appendix 5b with a creepy name mean? We read SanPin and find out that the part of the plant mentioned in this appendix or the result of its processing (in our case, the essential oil obtained from the fruit) is not allowed to be used in the manufacture of biologically active food additives (see p. 3.30 SanPin). And that's all. SanPin 2.3.2.1078-01 does not contain any more restrictions on the content of Appendix 5b. That's about it, that's all. Parsley is in the law.
