White Corn
White corn is a sweet corn variety. Its ears are wrapped in tightly layered pale lime green to white husks. One ear of corn can contain up to 400 kernels growing in rows lengthwise.
Cantaloupe Melon
The cantaloupe is defined by two elements: its roughly netted stone and green colored skin and its aromatic orange-coral colored flesh. When perfectly ripe, the flesh is juicy, unctuous and sweet.
Seasons/Availability
Parsley is available year round.
Current Facts
Parsley is the best known of all garnishes as its appearance is associated with a wide variety of plates spanning culinary landscapes throughout the globe. It is a member of the Umbelliferae family, which is a family of herbs known for their aromatic qualities and hallow stems. They often produce umbels of leaves and flowers at the peak of their stems, which curly parsley is most recognized for, its umbrella clusters of tightly curled leaves.
Description/Taste
Parsleys leaves are the preferred utility of the plant and are sourced mainly for their decorative characteristics versus their flavor. They do have bright, fresh and herbaceous aromatics as well as flavor, though, and should be considered for their ability to cleanse the palate between courses or after a meal.
Nutritional Value
Mineral-rich and vitamin-rich parsley stems and leaves offer an excellent source of magnesium, iron, calcium, beta carotene and vitamin C.
Applications
Parsley is often used as a garnish but may also be eaten fresh, dried or cooked. Pair with other fresh and dried herbs, mushrooms, cheeses, pasta, tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers, eggs, artichokes, seafood and meats. To store, keep dry and refrigerated until use.
Ethnic/Cultural Info
In the Middle East, parsley leaves are eaten as a vegetable and are a major player in tabbouleh. Used extensively in Western cooking, parsley is essential in French cuisine's bouquet garni, a mixture of fine herbs.
Geography/History
Parsley is native to the central Mediterranean region, yet it has been naturalized elsewhere in Europe, and widely cultivated throughout the Northern hemisphere.
