Choose fresh parsley over the dried form of the herb since it is superior in
flavor. Choose fresh parsley that is deep green in color and looks fresh and
crisp. Avoid leaves that are wilted or yellow as this indicates that they are
either damage or over mature. Just like with any dried herbs, if you choose to
purchase dried parsley flakes, try to select organically grown parsley since
this will give you more assurance that the herbs have not been irradiated.
