Varieties were selected that develop a thick, turnip-like root instead of curly leaves. This root parsley became a staple ingredient in winter soup, particularly in Germany, Poland, Austria, and the Netherlands.<\/p>\n<p>In the store, it&#039;s often located right next to the <strong>parsnip<\/strong>. The differences: Parsley root is smaller (usually around 20 cm), slimmer, and has a distinct parsley aroma. Parsnips grow larger, have a broad, sunken leaf base, and taste sweeter and nuttier. If you&#039;re unsure, just rub the skin briefly \u2013 your nose will tell you immediately.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ea-k\" id=\"nutzen\">\n<h2><span>To use<\/span>What parsley root does for you<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ea-drop\">100 g of parsley root provide approximately 40 to 55 kcal, about 4 g. <strong>Dietary fiber<\/strong>, approximately 40 mg <strong>Vitamin C<\/strong> and 400 to 560 mg <strong>potassium<\/strong> - depending on the nutritional information table. Also when... <strong>Folate<\/strong> It&#039;s in good shape; the figures vary considerably, but are usually higher than those for carrots and celery. It also contains magnesium, calcium, iron, and flavonoids such as apigenin.<\/p>\n<p>Commission E has given a positive assessment to dried parsley root (together with the herb): to <strong>Flushing<\/strong> For diseases of the urinary tract and for the prevention of kidney stones. Drinking plenty of fluids is always important. The diuretic effect is attributed to the essential oil and flavonoids; however, good clinical studies in humans are largely lacking.<\/p>\n<p>The essential oil also contains <strong>Apiol<\/strong> and <strong>Myristicin<\/strong>. They are present in the root only in very small quantities, but highly concentrated in parsley seeds and oil. In high doses, they irritate the kidneys and uterus; apiol was formerly misused for abortions, sometimes with fatal consequences. This is irrelevant when the parsley is eaten as a vegetable in soup, but it is a concern when it is consumed in teas, juices, and extracts.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ea-zahlen\">\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>approx. 41 mg<\/b><span>Vitamin C per 100 g<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>approx. 4 g<\/b><span>Dietary fiber per 100 g<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>400\u2013560 mg<\/b><span>Potassium per 100 g, depending on the table<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>6 g<\/b><span>dried drug as a daily dose according to Commission E<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ea-k\" id=\"inhalt\">\n<h2><span>Ingredients<\/span>This is what&#039;s in the parsley root<\/h2>\n<p>Parsley root contains carbohydrates, fiber, some protein, vitamin C, folate, B vitamins, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron.
