When you chop flat-leaf parsley,

[no_hypocrisy]

do you also chop the stems or just the leaves?

[Emile]

1. I suppose you could chop both, myself I chop the leaves.

[magicarpet]

2. Chop leaf & stem,...

....... both offer nutrition and sustenance. Chop the very end off the stem if it is aged a yellow or brown.

Bon Appetit.

3. That's your call depending on how you feel about the bitterness of the stem taste. n/t

[Jilly_in_VA]

4. It depends

on what I'm chopping it for. if it's for a stew or soup, I chop the whole thing. If it's fresh pasta or potato salad or something like that, just the leaves. Likewise if I'm drying it, just the leaves, whole.

5. I just tear off and chop the leaves.

But for cilantro, I chop and use all of it.

6. My wife cut off the stems and freezes them for soups

When she makes her cucumber tomato salad.

Which is when she uses the most parsley.
