native and non-native growing locations for parsley?

Question

Where are the native and non-native growing locations (countries) for parsley? Please help!!!!!!

Answer 1

Parsley is native to Southern Europe, especially in the Mediterranean region. The ancient Greeks associated it with Achromous, the Herald of Death and as such covered their tombs with it. Perhaps because of this association they did not eat, although they did feed their horses with it.

It was not until the Romans came along that Parsley started to be cultivated as a garnish. It is now cultivated all over the world and is still mostly only used as a garnish.
