Chervil Herbs

Chervil is a delicate annual herb with light green, finely divided, fern-like leaves that resemble parsley. It has a mild, subtle flavor with hints of anise or licorice. In late spring to early summer, chervil produces small, white, umbrella-shaped flower clusters. It grows best in cool, shaded locations and prefers rich, moist soil. Commonly used in French cuisine, chervil enhances the flavor of poultry, eggs, seafood, and vegetable dishes, and is a key ingredient in fines herbes blends. Varieties: Crispum, Curled, and Plain (Common Chervil)
