Serving size, prep, and portion notes for parsley
Parsley is high in salicylates and is also a well-known dietary source of oxalate, so it carries two separate triggers in one bright green leaf. Dose is everything: a sprig scattered over a plate is negligible, but a herb-heavy dish like tabbouleh or a green sauce, where parsley is measured in cups rather than pinches, turns it from a garnish into a real serving of both salicylate and oxalate.
Watch for
High in salicylates, a common trigger for people who react to aspirin or salicylate-rich produce / A recognised oxalate source: a 10 gram garnish is only about 16 mg of oxalate, but a cup or two in tabbouleh pushes the amount much higher, which matters if you form calcium-oxalate kidney stones / The gap between a sprig and a salad bowl is the whole story, so watch the portion, not just the ingredient
