Parsley (finely chopped)
Description
Chopped parsley is an intensely green, delicate ingredient with a fresh, slightly peppery and herbal aroma that adds a bright, appetizing look and freshness to dishes. It works well as a finishing touch for soups, sauces, salads, spreads, fish, meats, and egg dishes, as well as in marinades and grains, where it balances rich flavors and adds a layer of aroma. As a source of vitamins A, C, and K, folic acid, iron, and antioxidants, parsley supports immunity, bone health, and circulation while being low in calories. To maintain freshness, store it in the refrigerator wrapped in a damp paper towel in a closed container or standing in a jar of water covered with plastic wrap; use within a few days. It can also be portioned and frozen in cubes with oil to extend its shelf life.
