the garnish you push aside is secretly an iron-rich breath-bomb in disguise
means A bright green leafy herb, curly or flat-leaved, used to season and garnish food and to freshen the breath.
from From Old English 'petersilie' and Old French 'peresil', both ultimately from Latin 'petroselinum', a borrowing of Greek 'petroselinon' — literally 'rock-celery', from 'petra' (rock, the same root that named the apostle Peter) plus 'selinon' (celery or parsley). So the unassuming garnish carries a stony, mountainside name: the celery that grows among the rocks.
