75 days — ‘Plain’ parsley, also referred to as “Simple” and “Common” parsley, produce plants that are erect, reach about twelve inches tall, and are quite vigorous. The leaves are large, flat, and glossy green. This was the preferred variety in early-1800s Europe.

Is plain parsley the same as Italian parsley?

Italian and Flat Leaf Parsley are essentially the same thing. It really depends on what store you are currently shopping in, what name would be used. Parsley is native to southern Italy, so that is where that name came from. Whatever you call it, this parsley has a flat leaf that resembles cilantro.

Which parsley is best for cooking?

AskingLot states that flat-leaf parsley is typically preferred for cooking because it retains its flavor and texture in hot dishes; but since all fresh herbs lose their luster when cooked, it’s best to add Italian parsley just before serving.
