- Protein per 100 kcal compares how much protein each food gives for the same calories: Parsley gives 8.3 g.
- Energy density is calories per gram. At 0.36 kcal/g, Parsley is very low on the CDC's scale (very low below 0.6, low to 1.5, medium to 4, high above 4); lower-density foods give a larger portion for the same calories.
