PARSLEY = KINTSAY?
Yung parsley ba ay yung kinchay / kintsay?
(Are parsley and kinchay / kintsay the same? )
Pwede ba yung kintsay na pamparegla?
Yung kintsay / kinchay lang ang meron dito sa amin, pwede ba yun?
Is Parsley the same herb/plant as Kintsay / Kinchay? Yes and No .
Yes, Kintsay (or Kinchay) is a variety of Parsley. It is internationally known as Cilatro, Flat-leaf Parsley, Straight leaf Parsley, Italian Parsley, Chinese Parsley
And No. In the Philippine setting or sense, when we say "Parsley", we generally refer to the curly-leaf variety also known internationally as French Curly-leaf Parsley, Curled Parsley or Curly Parsley
It is the curly leaf and not the flat leaf Kintsay / Kinchay that I was referring to as "parsley" in my blog about herbal abortion/miscarriage that I wrote 7 years ago. https://herbalabortionphilippines.blogspot.com/2013/07/herbal-abortion-experiences-in.html

In this blog post, I will try to help the reader avoid confusing the two parsley varieties by providing pictures comparing the two. I also added pictures of the two other popular (and similar) herbs, wansoy ( coriander) and celery which are also often confused for "parsley" because of their similar looks. The set of undeniable similarities among these herbs is not really a mystery since they are all members of the taxonomic genus Apium and the family Apiaceae, a family of aromatic flowering plants sometimes referred to simply as the Parsley Family.
