Parsley flakes are dried, crumbled pieces of parsley, an herb known for its bright green color and fresh, slightly peppery flavor. When fresh parsley is dried and crushed into flakes, it retains much of its aromatic flavor, though slightly muted. Parsley flakes are commonly used as a garnish or seasoning in a variety of dishes, including soups, salads, stews, sauces, and meats. They add a burst of color and a mild, herbal taste without overpowering other ingredients.
