Flat-leaf Parsley

Flat-leaf Parsley

EverydayFresh

Flat-leaf parsley (also called Italian parsley) is a fresh culinary herb distinguished by its vibrant green, smooth leaves and robust, slightly peppery flavor. Preferred over curly parsley for cooking due to its stronger aroma, it is commonly used as a finishing garnish in Mediterranean dishes, salad dressings, and herb-infused sauces where its flavor remains pronounced when added raw. This nutrient-dense herb provides significant vitamin K and C content while being naturally low in calories, gluten-free, and suitable for most dietary patterns.
