PARSLEY (root vegetable)

 

     The storage root of parsley (Petroselinum crispum var. tuberosum) is characterized by a high concentration of vitamin K (phylloquinone) (137.0% of the Daily Value [DV] per 100 g), ascorbic acid (39.0%), and pyridoxine (30.0%). Its mineral profile is notably rich in: boron (58.8% DV per 100 g), silicon (43.0%), vanadium (25.0%), copper (23.0%), manganese (22.5%), potassium (14.0%), rubidium (14.0%), cobalt (13.8%), and zinc (11.3%).

 

     The nutritional profile is further distinguished by its mono- and disaccharide content (12.2% DV) and dietary fiber (12.8%). The root contains significant quantities of sucrose (1.2 g per 100 g) and starch (4.0 g per 100 g).
     The total purine base content in 100 g is 6.7% of the daily norm.
Caloric content per 100 g: 51 kcal
Water in 100 g: 83 g
