Parsley Leaves

Parsley leaves are the fresh herb tops of the parsley plant, one of the most widely used herbs in European and international cuisine. Their fresh, mildly spicy flavour and distinctive aroma make them a versatile addition to soups, sauces, salads, pâtés and meat dishes. They are most often added raw or at the very end of cooking to preserve their flavour, colour and nutrients. There are two main varieties, flat-leaf parsley leaves, which have a more intense flavour, and curly parsley leaves, used more often as a decorative garnish. Parsley leaves are rich in vitamin C, vitamin K and antioxidants.
