crispum (family Umbelliferae). This is probably the most
well-known and used herb in the United States, used extensively
in garnishing foods as well as for flavoring of sauces,
stews and stocks. Curly leaf Parsley is best known for garnishing,
while flat leaf or Italian Parsley is used in bouquets garni
and other flavoring applications. |
Parsley
adds color, and thus visual appeal, to many foods. It is
used in egg dishes, soups, stews, stocks, and with other
herbs to bring out their flavor. Parsley is popular in Middle
Eastern cuisine and the spice blends of fines herbes, bouquet
garni, and pestos.

are picked while still green, allowed to ferment and are
then sun-dried until they shrivel and turn a brownish-black
color. They have a hot, piney taste.

Pepper adds flavor to almost every food of every nation
in the world. It is used in rubs, spice blends, salad dressings,
and peppercorn blends.

seafood, Italian, Indian, Mexican, and Caribbean cuisines.
