Dried parsley sensitivity may stem from concentrated compounds, essential oils, or unique proteins. Avoid for 8 weeks, try supplements like probiotics or quercetin, and use alternatives like fresh parsley, basil, cilantro, or dill if tolerated.
🌿 What is Parsley (Dried)?
Dried parsley is a dehydrated version of fresh parsley, commonly used as a seasoning in soups, sauces, and marinades. It has a milder flavor than fresh parsley but retains its earthy and slightly bitter taste.

Sensitivity to dried parsley may occur due to:
- Concentrated Compounds: Dehydration amplifies natural compounds, making them harder to tolerate.

🛠️ What Can I Do About It?
- Avoid dried parsley for 8 weeks and monitor symptoms.

- Retest after 8 weeks to reassess your sensitivity.
