The parsley family (also known as the
Apiaceae family or umbellifers, due to forming umbrella-like stem structures called umbels) is a huge plant group with over 3,700 species, some of which are familiar names in our kitchen: carrots, parsnips, and celery! That’s right; these diverse veggies are all closely related. (We’ll be looking at other members of this family angelica, anise, caraway, coriander, cumin, dill, fennel, and of course, parsley in more detail in an upcoming post on herbs and spices.)
