Serving Ideas

Parsley has an almost limitless number of uses. It can be consumed fresh, dried, or marinated. Its taste and nutritional value are greatest when it is fresh. Add it at the last minute to cooked foods; it will be crispier, greener, tastier and more nutritious. Both the leaves and stems are edible. In addition to its more traditional uses, it can be added to sandwich fillings, omelets, and salads.
