　　Parsley: Not Just Another Pretty Green

　　荷兰芹，不仅仅是绿色的配料

　　This is the VOA Special English Agriculture Report.

　　Parsley is an ancient green and a respected addition to many foods. But other times, its job is just to make a mealtime plate look pretty. Poor parsley, valued for its looks, then thrown away.

　　Yet parsley is a good source of vitamins and other nutrients. The taste is a little strong for some people, yet others chew on parsley to freshen their breath.

　　Curly parsley is the kind that often ends up being used just for appearance. Many gardeners grow curly parsley as a border for flowerbeds.

　　Flat-leaf parsley is easier to work with for cooking. This kind is often called Italian or French parsley.

　　Do you know about a third kind of parsley? Hamburg parsley has flat leaves that can be used for the same purposes as other parsley. But Hamburg parsley has a large root which is used as a vegetable. It can be used, for example, to add flavor to soups.
