All Frontier Bottled Spices are freshness dated, non-irradiated, safety sealed and feature a convenient shaker top for easy use. Parsely, of course, is essential as a garnish and spice in innumerable recipes and sauces. Chopped parsley and garlic in olive oil are a Mediterranean standard. French fines herbes uses parsley, as does sauce béarnaise. Parsely smells best uncooked or quick fried in olive oil. But bouquet garni, a parsely-rich herb bundle cooked in soups, sauces or stews, is immersed in the dish for as long as it is cooked.

The most familiar employment of the leaves in their fresh state is, of course, finely-chopped, as a flavouring to sauces, soups, stuffings, rissoles, minces, etc., and also sprinkled over vegetables or salads.

Mode of Administration: The crushed drug for infusions as well as other galenical preparations with a comparably small proportion of essential oil to be taken orally.' King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Diuretic, relieving urinary irritation. Very useful in dropsy, especially that following scarlatina, and other exanthematous diseases. Also used in retention of urine, strangury, and gonorrhoea.' 'Parsley seeds have a powerful odor, somewhat like that of turpentine, and a spicy, pungent taste, and have been used
