General Description/History: - a herb native to Asia, but has been used in Europe for centuries, where chervil soup is traditionally consumed on Holy Thursday
- included in the traditional French fines herbes mix (with parsley, tarragon, and thyme)
- also called French parsley
- sold as sprouts: white stems topped with light green fern-like leaves, often with a dark seed coat still attached
- should be consumed fresh, as most of the flavour is lost when dried or cooked
- tastes like an aniseed-flavoured parsley
- use fresh as a garnish, in salads or sprinkle on top of soups
- Available: April to December
