Parsley (.3 oz)
Parsley is a leafy green herb that is widely used in cooking. It has a slightly peppery, earthy flavor and is a popular garnish. Parsley can be used to add flavor to salads, soups, casseroles, and other dishes. It can also be used to make sauces, pesto, and marinades. For best results, fresh parsley should be used whenever possible. To prepare it for cooking, simply rinse it with cool water and remove any large stems. Parsley can be chopped or minced and added to a dish, or it can be used as a garnish on top. When using dried parsley, be sure to use half the amount of fresh parsley, since it has a stronger flavor.
