What it is
Italian parsley, also known as flat-leaf parsley, is a herb with a mild, peppery flavor. It is widely cultivated and used fresh as a garnish and ingredient in many cuisines. The leaves are flat and dark green, with a more robust flavor than curly parsley.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use Italian parsley primarily as a flavoring agent and for its fresh, herbaceous aroma. It is commonly found in savory dishes like pasta sauces, soups, salads, and as a garnish for roasted meats and fish. Its bright green color also adds visual appeal to food.
Health notes
Italian parsley is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a good source of vitamins K and C. No specific regulatory limits have been set by international bodies like JECFA or EFSA for its consumption as a food. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.
Allergen info
Italian parsley is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
