Description

Flat-leaf Italian parsley is a popular variety of parsley characterized by its broad, smooth, and flat leaves, unlike curly parsley. Its flavor is fresh, intense, and slightly herbaceous, making it an essential ingredient in Mediterranean and global cuisine to enhance both cold and hot dishes.

Originating from the Mediterranean region, flat-leaf Italian parsley has been cultivated since antiquity and is highly valued for its versatility and concentrated aroma. It is commonly used in sauces, dressings, garnishes, soups, stews, and marinades.

Regarding its properties, this parsley is rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, and antioxidants, in addition to containing minerals such as iron and potassium. It is known for its digestive benefits and its ability to add freshness and color to dishes.

In different regions of Latin America, flat-leaf Italian parsley may also be known as perejil liso, perejil de hoja ancha, or simply flat-leaf parsley.
