Why Dried Parsley Falls Short and What Home Cooks Really Want

They also want consistent portions and less waste (goodbye, slimy, forgotten herbs).

The bottom line? Fresh flavor, instantly without the prep.

Pro tip: Before reaching for dried parsley, ask yourself when you last tasted its flavor in your dish. If it’s been a while, it’s time to try Dorot Gardens Parsley.

Frozen vs. Dried Parsley: Flavor, Color, Nutrition, and Ease

Why does frozen chopped parsley beat its dried counterpart? Freezing at peak freshness locks in color, aroma, and taste, so it wakes up your dish. Dried parsley often adds only color specks, not flavor.
