What is this product?

Parsley, locally known as Bagdunis, is a fragrant leafy herb widely used as a garnish and flavor enhancer in a variety of cuisines. With its bright green, curly or flat leaves and fresh, slightly peppery flavor, parsley adds both taste and nutrition to dishes like salads, soups, sauces, and grilled meats. It is packed with vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, and iron, making it one of the most nutrient-dense herbs. Parsley not only elevates the appearance and aroma of food but also supports detoxification, boosts immunity, and promotes heart and bone health. Fresh Bagdunis is an essential herb in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and global kitchens.

Parsley is native to the Mediterranean region, particularly Greece and Italy, and has been cultivated for thousands of years for its culinary and medicinal uses. Today, it is grown worldwide — including in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Lebanon — where it thrives in sunny, well-drained soil. Locally harvested Bagdunis is handpicked to ensure freshness, fragrance, and superior flavor.
