Rock celery, a.k.a parsley

This little herb should definitely be used for more than just garnishing! With just 10 sprigs you receive: 205% of your daily value of vitamin K, 22% DV of vitamin C, 17% DV of vitamin A, and less impressive but still great, 4% DV of folate, and 3% DV of iron.

Vitamin K prevents the loss of bone density and keeps our arteries/heart from hardening. Vitamin C is our body's primary water-soluble antioxidant. Or put another way, vitamin C renders harmless the free radicals, a source of degenerative diseases and cancers, in the water-soluble areas of our body. Vitamin A does the same but for the fat-soluble areas. Vitamin A is also great for combating aging skin and acne!

I suggest choosing Italian parsley (flat leafed) over the classic curly parsley. It has a more fragrant taste and is less bitter. Try adding it to your protein rubs, tomato sauces, pesto, and salads.
