The best flavor comes from fresh parsley. It is easy to grow on a sunny windowsill. Sow seeds in October and have all you need during the winter months.
If weeding your garden means pulling the chickweed, don't toss it in the compost pile. It makes a delicious addition to a tossed salad.
If you have an abundance of chickweed that needs to be thinned in your garden, bring it in the house, rinse it well and steam it as you would any "green." It has a milder-than-spinach flavor.
Parsley is one of those herbs that when dried loses
most (if not all) of its flavor.
Think of using dried parsley as a color addition to
your dishes, and nothing else, because it imparts
nothing else!
Fresh parsley is easy to grow and easily found at
market, and there is just no comparison.
Frozen parsley is passable, especially for medicinal use, such as in teas, but dried? Don't bother!
