Parsley can be chopped or pulped depending on what the recipe requires. Curly parsley should be broken into florets for use as a garnish. It will need a quick rinse to remove any remains of soil.
Parsley can be kept in a perforated bag in the refrigerator, or stem-down in a glass of water. If the parsley is slightly wilted, sprinkle it lightly with water or wash it completely without drying before storing in the refrigerator. However, it is best to wait for washing until ready to use in your recipe.
Curly parsley is best preserved by freezing. Either freeze the leaves in a single layer and keep in an airtight freezer bag, or chop and put into ice cube trays, fill with water, freeze and then keep in a freezer bag. Don’t forget to wash your fruit and veg before use.
