Make sure your parsley is dry and store in a sealed plastic bag in your refrigerator for a week or so. Like all leafy herbs parsley can be dried for long-term storage. You can also freeze it in a plastic bag. The frozen parsley retains much more flavor than the dried. (from An Endless Harvest: Betty Levine)
Parsley comes in two varieties, curly leaf and flat or Italian. Both have a mild flavor, but the flat variety is slightly stronger. Parsley is compatible with almost any food except sweets.
