About Parsley
Parsley is popular in European, British and Middle Eastern food. Parsley is popular thanks to the fresh and grassy flavours, which works well in Creamy sauces, salsas or pestos, and used as a garnish.
As well as fresh, Parsley is also sold dried, which is more muted in flavor than fresh. Italian parsley is available year-round and is easy to grow at home.
