Parsleys are more than just garnish for food. You can also incorporate them into the cooking itself to make your food tastier. These herbs are one of those you can find almost anywhere. There are two types of parsleys—the flat leaf (also called the Italian parsley) and the curly leaf.

You can also use them as side dish—fry them or dress them for salads. Curly leaf, however, are less tough and are usually used for…

But despite its name, this vegetable has no relation to the regular broccoli. It is a descendant of wild herbs and closely related to turnips. It originated in southern Mediterranean and was brought to the United States in the 1920s by Italian immigrants.

Broccoli rabe has a nutty and bitter taste. It is a staple in Italian dishes and Chinese cuisines. When buying broccoli rabe, make sure you look for bright green and crisp leaves. Avoid wilted and yellow leaves. The thinner and firmer the stems of the broccoli…
