Parsley is a fresh culinary herb used raw as a garnish, stirred into sauces, salads and grain dishes, or blended into preparations like tabbouleh and chimichurri. Because it is typically consumed in small quantities, its per-100g figures are most useful as a nutrient-density reference. Raw parsley provides 36 kcal, 3 g of protein, 0.8 g of fat, 6.3 g of carbohydrates and 4.1 g of dietary fibre per 100 g, with sugars at just 1 g. It is notably rich in vitamin K at 1220 mcg per 100 g, vitamin A at 673 mcg and vitamin C at 177 mg, alongside 598 mg of potassium and 185 mg of calcium. No glycemic index value is established for parsley. It fits vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, keto, paleo, mediterranean and low-FODMAP dietary patterns.
