Parsley extract
Parsley extract is a natural ingredient derived from the parsley plant, known for its vibrant green leaves often used as a herb in cooking. This extract is obtained by crushing or steeping parsley leaves in a liquid to draw out its flavour and nutrients.
Food manufacturers make parsley extract by extracting the essence of parsley, concentrating its taste and aroma into a liquid form. This process usually involves infusing parsley leaves in water, alcohol, or another solvent, then filtering out the solid parts to leave a potent liquid extract.
Parsley extract is commonly added to various food products to enhance their flavour profiles. It can be found in soups, sauces, dressings, marinades, and even some baked goods. The extract adds a fresh, herbaceous note to dishes, often contributing a hint of grassy undertones and brightening up the overall taste.
