flat leaf parsley
Smooth-leaved culinary herb
Flat leaf parsley is a variety of parsley with broad, flat leaves rather than the curly, ruffled leaves of its more decorative cousin.
Also called Italian parsley, it has a stronger, more peppery flavor and is preferred by most cooks for its taste: The recipe calls for a handful of chopped flat leaf parsley.
The curly variety is more often used as garnish.
