Chopped parsley
Description
Chopped parsley consists of small, intensely green leaves with a fresh, slightly peppery and herbal aroma that adds character and visual lightness to dishes. It has a delicate, crunchy texture, and the fine chopping releases more essential oils, enhancing the flavor. It is low in calories yet rich in vitamins A, C, and K, folic acid, iron, and antioxidants, supporting immunity, bone health, and detoxification. It is most commonly used as a fresh finishing touch for soups, salads, sauces, marinades, roasted vegetables, fish, and meat dishes, as well as in herb butter or pesto, where it brings freshness. To preserve its aroma, store parsley in the refrigerator wrapped in a damp paper towel in an airtight container or standing in a glass of water; it can also be frozen in oil or water cubes for longer storage.
