About Flatleaf parsley

Flatleaf parsley is a fresh culinary herb with flat, divided green leaves, sold in bunches or as loose leaves. The leaves and tender stems are chopped for seasoning, added near the end of cooking, or used as a garnish.

Its flavour is fresh, green and mildly peppery, with a more pronounced aroma than a neutral leafy garnish. It is commonly used fresh, though it can also be dried or frozen. This name distinguishes the flat-leaved form from curly-leaf parsley.
