Parsley

Parsley has long, slender stalks and feathery leaves. It has a tangy, fresh, sometimes lemony flavour. There are two main types: curly leaf and flat leaf. The flat-leaf type has a more intense, peppery flavour. A popular garnish, parsley also can be added to soups, marinades, and salads. Both types are often used to bring out the flavour of other herbs. The flat-leaf variety is typically used for cooking because of its more intense flavour. The flavour of both types is stronger in the stalks.
