Date: July 16, 2012 04:28AM There are certain Zen Masters who can take any side of a debate, and convince you that you are wrong....no matter what side you take.
When it comes to Parsley....How do you take it, or think you would take it if you aren't now? If you said..."just Eat it", that can't be right, because no one can chew it efficiently enough to extract the nutrients. That leaves Juice it or Blend it. I'm thinking about adding fresh Parsley to my diet......WY P.S. Here's what "The Great Masticator" said. [en.wikipedia.org] Re: Parsley.....Juice it? Blend it? or just Eat it?

Date: July 16, 2012 06:40AM I shred it in the food processor in tiny little pieces, and then eat it. Don't know if its efficient enough  >Banana ice-cream rocks!< Re: Parsley.....Juice it? Blend it? or just Eat it?

Date: July 16, 2012 07:21AM Well, I have been eating it but I am going to juice it because, at the moment, I have so much of it growing. Re: Parsley.....Juice it? Blend it? or just Eat it?

Date: July 16, 2012 07:26AM Sorry... another vote for eating. Tabbouleh is mostly parsley. So it's not uncommon for people to eat lots of it raw. 
My favorite raw vegan Re: Parsley.....Juice it? Blend it? or just Eat it?

Date: July 16, 2012 05:26PM i use it in smoothies off and on all the time! i juice it if i am juicing but i generally smoothie all the time! provides all the yummy fiber, and tons of free nutrients. Always add a vitamin c source to help amp up the iron absorption! Re: Parsley.....Juice it? Blend it? or just Eat it?

Date: July 16, 2012 07:26PM Great advice rawlion, as you can almost taste the iron in it. Also, parsley has a k more nutrients than any other leafy veg...or so I've read. I chop it fine and add to my veg salad, but not too much as it's a strong tasting veg.  Re: Parsley.....Juice it? Blend it? or just Eat it?

Date: July 16, 2012 08:00PM Sometimes I chop it fine and add it to my salad, other times I put it in the blender to add at the smoothie taste and some other times (not often) I eat a couple of leaves raw to feel my breath and mouth cleaner.
Thanks for the link. I would never imagine that mastication had to do with the increase of strength. Great points also that the more one masticates the less food needs to consume. Very interesting, thanks again for sharing. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 07/16/2012 08:00PM by SkyFeather ~. Re: Parsley.....Juice it? Blend it? or just Eat it?

Date: July 16, 2012 08:04PM Parsey is a herb and should be used in small amounts as so, it really doesn't matter how you use it. In its full form would be the most optimal of course.

Date: July 16, 2012 10:30PM Yes, an interesting article which most people of today would do well to practise, esp the chewing. Re: Parsley.....Juice it? Blend it? or just Eat it?

Date: July 21, 2012 05:16AM So I ran the parsley through the Omega juicer and wow! If the FDA finds out how good this is, it'll be illegal. Very tasty, a bit of a bite and I suspect addicting. Kind of a gloppy consistency. Way good. I wonder what the alkaloid is. Re: Parsley.....Juice it? Blend it? or just Eat it?

I've found that the soft fibers of Parsley make it better for Blending over Juicing. Wheatgrass, however, is better for Juicing. We've seen above that 'just eating' Parsley is the worse way to take it, because no one takes time to properly chew their food. So there you have it. Blending is Best, followed by Juicing and Just Eating......WY Re: Parsley.....Juice it? Blend it? or just Eat it?

Date: July 21, 2012 07:53PM WY, why blending is better than juicing?
I'm food processing mine until they are very small bits (sort of to resemble chewing), so I guess it's similar to blending. >Banana ice-cream rocks!< Re: Parsley.....Juice it? Blend it? or just Eat it?

Date: July 21, 2012 10:45PM It's an Omega 8004. There was a ton of refuse and in comparison, just a little juice but one of my plants bolted in the heat so I decided to turn it into juice. The flavor was awesome.
Let me ask you a question, WY. I'm thinking of freezing green juices so I have them when winter comes. Is that advisable? Re: Parsley.....Juice it? Blend it? or just Eat it?

It's better than nothing, but not much. Measuring the Sugar with a Brix meter (Refractometer) (see the link) shows frozen to be a 1, whereas fresh Wheatgrass Juice measures over 10 (if memory serves me). The flavor is pretty much gone too with the frozen......WY [www.amazon.com] Re: Parsley.....Juice it? Blend it? or just Eat it?

Date: July 22, 2012 05:24PM Thanks WY for the input on freezing. That pretty much answers it for me...better than nothing but not much.
Wow! That refractometer is one cool looking device. It looks like you should be able to play a tune on it. I've never heard of such a thing before. Hmmm. Re: Parsley.....Juice it? Blend it? or just Eat it?

It is interesting to compare organic and non-organic Fruit. The Brix reading for organic is always higher. I bought it for measuring my Wheatgrass Juice......WY Re: Parsley.....Juice it?

Date: July 23, 2012 03:54AM Haha never thought of using refractometer to determine quality of my veggies - I use it to determine salinity in my fish tank! A new thing to try, hmmm >Banana ice-cream rocks!< Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
