Cut the outer stems close to the soil and leave the smaller central leaves to continue growing. Take no more than one-third of the plant at one time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the leaves fresh for their strongest flavour. Add them near the end of cooking or sprinkle them over food before serving. Extra parsley can be chopped and frozen, as drying reduces much of its fresh flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Parsley the same as coriander?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Their leaves may look similar, but they are different herbs. Parsley has a cleaner, milder flavour, while coriander has a stronger smell and taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is my Parsley producing a tall flower stalk?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParsley normally produces a flower stalk during its second growing season. Warm weather or sudden temperature changes can make it flower sooner. The leaves become tougher after flowering begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Parsley grow indoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Place it near a sunny window receiving at least six hours of direct sunlight. Use a deep pot because parsley develops a long main root.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon names:\u003c\/strong\u003e Parsley, Garden Parsley, Common Parsley\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moji Mall","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45999557607646,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0711\/8353\/2254\/files\/parsley_grown_from_seeds.jpg?v=1787316795","url":"https:\/\/mojimall.pk\/products\/parsley-seeds","provider":"Moji Mall","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
