BUYING TIPS:

• You can get two types of parsley: the flat-leaf parsley (Italian, stronger flavor) or the curly leaf parsley (mild flavor).
• Choose fresh parsley with no signs of wilting.

STORING TIPS:

• Keep fresh parsley in the fridge in a perforated plastic bag for up to one week.
• Curly leaf parsley is best preserved by freezing as opposed to drying.
• If you have excess of flat leaf parsley, dry it by laying it out in a single layer on a clean kitchen cloth and store in a dark, cool place in a tightly sealed container.

SERVING IDEAS:

• Juice parsley with other vegetables. 
• Chopped parsley can be added to fresh salads, soups, and steamed vegetable dishes.
• Add parsley to pesto sauce for extra green color and texture.
• Combine chopped parsley, garlic, and lemon zest and use it as a rub for chicken, lamb or beef.

BE MINDFUL:

• Pregnant women may like to avoid consuming large amounts of parsley as it stimulates the uterus and can, therefore, induce uterine contractions.
