Italian Parsley 1 Bunch

**Italian Parsley**, also known as **flat-leaf parsley**, is a popular herb that is distinct from its curly-leaf counterpart. Here are the key things to know about it: * **Appearance:** It has flat, deep-green leaves that resemble cilantro but with a slightly different serration. * **Flavor:** It is generally preferred by chefs because it has a **stronger, more pronounced, and less bitter flavor** compared to curly parsley. * **Use:** It's widely used as a primary flavoring ingredient in many cuisines, especially Italian and Mediterranean dishes (like in *gremolata* or *salsa verde*). It's excellent chopped and mixed into sauces, soups, dressings, and main courses. * **Garnish:** While it can be used as a garnish, the curly variety is more traditionally used for purely decorative purposes.
