Parsley is a herb; the figures here describe fresh parsley with the tough stalks removed. It mainly contributes vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin K, folate and calcium. Per 100g, it provides 190mg of vitamin C, 548µg of vitamin K1, 170µg of folate and 200mg of calcium.
Vitamin C supports normal skin and connective tissue and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Vitamin K is needed for normal blood clotting, while folate supports normal blood cell formation. Parsley is generally used in small amounts, so its nutrient contribution depends on how much is eaten. Full nutritional figures are shown in the tables below.
