- A herb native to Asia, but has been used in Europe for centuries, where chervil soup is traditionally consumed on Holy Thursday.
- Included in the traditional French fines herbes mix (with parsley, tarragon, and thyme).
- Also called French parsley.
- Sold as sprouts: white stems topped with light green fern-like leaves, often with a dark seed coat still attached.
- Should be consumed fresh, as most of the flavour is lost when dried or cooked.
- Tastes like an aniseed-flavoured parsley.
- Use fresh as a garnish, in salads or sprinkle on top of soups.
Botanical Name: Anthriscus cerefolium
