Parsley Root – Cut & Sifted | Petroselinum crispum

What Is Parsley Root?

Parsley root, botanically known as Petroselinum crispum, comes from the same plant species as familiar leafy parsley.

Also called Hamburg parsley or Dutch parsley, the root has a long culinary history in European cooking. It is commonly prepared as a root vegetable in a similar way to carrots and parsnips.

Our dried parsley root is cut and sifted into convenient light-colored pieces. It has a pleasant aroma and a savory flavor commonly described as a cross between celery and parsnip.

A Versatile Culinary Root

Dried parsley root rehydrates during cooking and brings depth to:

• Soups and stews

• Vegetable and meat broths

• Sauces and gravies

• Slow-cooked dishes

• Savory herbal blends

Its concentrated parsley-root flavor makes it especially useful when fresh parsley root is unavailable.
