| LOOK FOR > An important herb in many dishes, parsley comes in either flat leaf (also know as Italian Parsley) and curly leafed (the kind your see on your plate as a garnish) varieties. Of the two, Italian Parsley has a richer, more satisfying flavor and is more typically used in cooking. Cilantro’s leaf and color is similar to parsley. Distinctive, pungent flavor. CARE & HANDLING > Ideal Storage Temperature: 33°F. 95-100% relative humidity. High humidity is essential to prevent desiccation. Using top ice is often beneficial. NUTRITIONAL INFO > Parsley is good source of vitamins A, B and C, and is rich in iron. Parsley's high chlorophyll content makes it an excellent breath freshener. DO YOU KNOW... • Parsley can also be used as a breath freshener. • Parsley is a Mediterranean herb that belongs to the carrot family, is popular in northern Europe, and came belatedly to North America in the Nineteenth Century. • Cilantro is mentioned as an aphrodisiac in The Tales of the Arabian Nights. • Also called coriander, Chinese parsley and Mexican parsley, cilantro has a strong, sage-citrus flavor that many find irresistible. |
