Application

Parsley is consumed fresh, dried and salted (less frequently).

Freshly frozen greens fully preserve the nutritional and medicinal properties for several months (or up to one year, if properly stored).

Parsley’s root vegetables are edible; however, they are rarely used due to their fineness and stiffness.
