Parsley leaves

Dried parsley leaf adds spice and freshness

Dried parsley leaf is one of the most commonly used herbs in our kitchens. Not only is parsley very popular in Europe, they also know how to use it in America and the Middle East. Dried parsley, unlike curled parsley, adds a fresh and peppery flavour to both hot and cold dishes. Curled parsley is only used as a garnish. The dried parsley leaf has a full aroma and can be ordered online at Natural Spices. The leaf is cut into chunks of 2 to 4 millimetres. You can buy it in a package of 100 grams, 750 grams or 10 kilos.

How do you use dried parsley leaves?

Dried parsley leaves can be used in all kinds of dishes, both cold and hot. For example, the dried and finely chopped parsley leaf is perfect to add to a homemade herb butter when you don't have fresh parsley at home. It also tastes delicious in freshly made mayonnaise and in potato salads. Further, you can add dried parsley leaves to stews with meat. If you have fish on the menu, add some of the dried herb to the creamy fish sauce. It is important to know that you should not cook the herb too long, because it will lose too much of its flavour and freshness. It is best to add the herb just before serving. The spicy aroma therefore goes with the flavour of the dish, as it were, rather than being fully absorbed.

Celery can also be used in both hot and cold dishes. It has a more spicy and warmer aroma, while the aroma of the parsley leaf has more a fresh note.
