Flat Leaf Parsley

Refrigeration: Store fresh parsley in a plastic bag in the refrigerator or sprinkle with water and wrap in a paper towel, or cut the ends and place stems upright in cold water.

Drying: Dry leaves in the refrigerator; wash them first then let them air dry spread on a baking sheet covered with paper towels. Leaves will take 2 to 7 days to dry in the fridge. Hang dry parsley in bunches or in a mesh bag to hang dry; hang dry parsley in the shade. Dried parsley quickly loses flavor; freezing leaves may be a better alternative.

Freezing: Chop and freeze leaves in a zippered plastic freezer bag. Freezing will retain the flavor.

Storing: Dried parsley leaves should be kept in an airtight container away from light and moisture.
