Chervil Nutrition facts
Chervil
Chervil is a small, annual herb growing to a height of 15 inches. Its anise-scented lacy, fern-like, light green leaves resemble that of carrot tops. The plant prefers fertile, well-drained soil to flourish. During the early summer, its white bloom appears in tiny umbels as in dill.
Chervil classified into four main varieties:
Garden Chervil- plain or curly.
Root chervil (Chaerophyllum bulbosum)- Cultivated for its tapering, parsnip-like root, which used as a vegetable.
Wild chervil or cow parsley (Anthriscus sylvestris), and
Bur chervil
