Parsley Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Parsley (Petroselinum crispum) is a biennial of the carrot family, Apiaceae, native to the central Mediterranean and grown worldwide as a culinary herb and garnish. In its first year it forms a rosette of bright green, triangular leaves that are either tightly curled or flat, depending on the cultivar, and in the second year sends up a stalk with umbels of tiny yellow-green flowers. The taproot is thick and pale, and in the Hamburg type grown as a root vegetable. We extract the dried leaf and root separately.
