Cal-Organic Organic Curly Parsley
What it is
This is a bunch of fresh, organic curly parsley. It is a leafy green herb known for its vibrant color and slightly peppery flavor. The leaves are distinctively ruffled and hold their shape well, making them a popular choice for garnishes and adding texture to dishes. It is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, adhering to organic farming practices.
How people cook with it
Fresh parsley is a versatile herb that can be used in countless ways to enhance the flavor and appearance of meals.
- Garnish for soups and stews
- Chopped into salads
- Mixed into sauces and dips
- Added to marinades
To prepare, gently rinse the parsley under cool water and pat it dry with paper towels. You can then finely chop the leaves and stems for incorporation into cooked dishes, or leave the sprigs whole for decorative purposes. Parsley is often added towards the end of cooking to preserve its fresh flavor and bright green color. It can also be used raw in salads, pestos, and as a finishing touch on roasted vegetables or grilled meats.
How it differs from similar foods
Curly parsley has a milder, more herbaceous flavor compared to flat-leaf parsley, which is often described as more pungent and robust. Its ruffled texture also makes it ideal for holding dressings and sauces, and it tends to wilt less dramatically when used as a garnish.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike use fresh parsley to elevate their culinary creations.
How to keep the rest
