STORAGE TIPS
Keep parsley fresh longer for several weeks in the refrigerator. Wash the entire bunch in warm water, shake off all excess moisture, wrap in paper towel and seal in a plastic bag. To freeze, for longer storage use, remove the paper towel and place the sealed bag in the freezer. Then simply break off and crumble the amount of parsley you need for soups, stews and other cooked dishes.

Sometimes its used as a garnish, parsley can be chopped and sprinkled in soups, hummus, or mixed with ground meat, such as lamb or can gussy up casseroles and more.
