Chervil

Chervil is a delicate annual herb that belongs to the Apiaceae family. It is often referred to as French parsley due to its similar appearance to the common parsley. Chervil has feathery, fern-like leaves that are a vibrant green color. The herb is known for its mild, anise-like flavor, which makes it a popular ingredient in French cuisine, particularly in the classic fines herbes blend. Chervil is typically used to season poultry, seafood, vegetables, and sauces. It is best added at the end of cooking to preserve its subtle flavor. In addition to its culinary uses, chervil has been used in traditional medicine for its purported digestive and anti-inflammatory properties. The plant thrives in cool, shaded environments and can be grown in herb gardens or containers.
