    Get to know Parsley, from Garden to Table

    Parsley is a lot more than just culinary eye candy. It's pretty, but it could be more exciting. As a result, only some people realize that this versatile culinary herb tastes good. Here's why parsley deserves a spot in your kitchen garden.

    Growing Tips

    Parsley is easy to grow, likes full sun, has rich, moist soil, and can tolerate partial shade.

    There are two primary varieties of parsley: flat leaf (aka Italian parsley) and curled.
    Flat-leaf parsley has a robust flavor, while the curled variety has more tender leaves and is often used as a garnish.

    Tips for Using Parsley

    Without question, fresh parsley is ideal for adding a pop of freshness to an otherwise dull dinner plate. Any 9me you want to add a bit of life and bright, fresh flavor to a dish, sprinkle some finely chopped fresh leaves over your creation.
    Harvest fresh leaves as needed. Cut the stems from the base of the plant to encourage bushier growth.
    Parsley is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be frozen and used in cooked dishes, but it will no longer be viable as a garnish. Also, avoid drying because too much of the flavor is lost in the process.
