Parsley root is the edible taproot of certain parsley varieties, eaten raw or — more commonly — cooked in soups, stews, and broths across Central and Eastern European cuisines, where it functions much like parsnip or celeriac. Per 100 g, raw parsley root provides 55 kcal, 2.3 g of protein, 0.6 g of fat, 12.3 g of carbohydrates, and a notable 4.3 g of dietary fibre, with sugars accounting for 4.4 g of those carbohydrates. It is a meaningful source of potassium (562 mg per 100 g), folate (180 mcg per 100 g), and vitamin C (41 mg per 100 g). No glycemic index value is available for this food. Parsley root is compatible with vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, keto, paleo, Mediterranean, and low-FODMAP dietary patterns.

How much vitamin C is in parsley root?
Parsley root provides 41 mg of vitamin C per 100 g, which is a substantial amount for a root vegetable. Note that vitamin C is heat-sensitive, so raw preparations retain more than long-cooked dishes.
