Description
Italian Parsley is a fresh, aromatic herb where a little bit goes a long way. It has a leaf shape and color similar to cilantro, but the similarities end there. This parsley has a frilly, curled, leaf shape and a dark green color. Curly parsley can be identified by its distinctive, pungent flavor and aroma. Quality parsley should have a high leaf-to-stem ratio. In the summer months, the stems will be thicker and have a lower leaf-to-stem as the herb’s way of preserving itself against the heat.
