Root Parsley Seeds – Heirloom Variety, Premium Quality, Ideal for Culinary & Garden Planting

Root Parsley (Petroselinum crispum var. tuberosum) is a versatile heirloom variety grown for both its flavorful leaves and nutrient-rich roots. This dual-purpose herb is prized in European and Mediterranean cuisine, offering a mildly sweet, earthy flavor similar to parsnips.
