FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does dried parsley last?
When stored properly in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, dried parsley maintains its best quality for 1 to 3 years.
How can I tell if dried parsley has gone bad?
Check the color and aroma. If the flakes have turned grey or brown and no longer have a herbal scent when crushed, they should be replaced.
What is the best substitute for dried parsley?
Dried chervil is the closest substitute. Dried cilantro or dried celery flakes can also work depending on the dish.
Can I freeze dried parsley?
While possible, it is unnecessary and not recommended as the moisture in a freezer can cause the dried flakes to clump and lose flavor.
Is dried parsley as healthy as fresh?
Dried parsley is more concentrated, so it contains higher amounts of minerals and Vitamin K per gram, though it loses some Vitamin C during the drying process.
Does dried parsley need to be washed?
No, dried parsley is processed and cleaned before drying and is ready to use directly from the container.
What are the best dishes for dried parsley?
It works best in liquid-based dishes like soups, stews, sauces, and marinades where it has time to rehydrate.
Why is my dried parsley tasteless?
It is likely old or has been exposed to light and heat. Dried herbs lose their volatile oils over time, resulting in a loss of flavor.
