Question
From when is it forbidden to buy fresh parsley in the market without supervision?
Answer
3rd of Tishrei, 5782. This prohibition includes both the leaves and the root; anything from this species harvested from Rosh Hashanah is sanctified with the sanctity of the Shemitah, and there is a prohibition of commerce. However, according to the Rambam, the prohibition of sefichin applies from this time, but according to the Rash and Ramban, the prohibition of sefichin will apply only from the time the species began to grow in the Shemitah year. Parsley root available in the market was sown in the Shemitah year starting from the 19th of Shevat, 5782, and parsley leaves available in the market were sown in the Shemitah year starting from the 12th of Adar II, 5782.
