Water hemlock
Cicuta maculata
The wetland umbel that looks like parsley and kills like a seizure — a teaching plate so fennel, dill, and watercress have a named opposite.
Flavor
Do not taste. A parsley-carrot smell is the trap.
In favor
Teaches the deadly umbel
Grow lab
No — habitat / law only
LegalGentle
Parsley
Petroselinum crispum
The garnish that is actually a mineral-green — a kitchen herb with a traditional kidney-and-breath record.
Flavor
Green, mineral, a little peppery — curly is milder, flat-leaf is louder.
Symptoms
indigestion, water retention, bad breath
In favor
Always in the kitchen
Against
Seed and oil are not food doses
Days to harvest
70–90 days from sow to a useful bunch
