Dried parsley is commonly sold as flakes, chopped pieces, and granulated forms. Product listings most frequently call out flakes and chopped preparations for cooking and garnish use.
Dried parsley flakes are used as a garnish and as a mild seasoning for salads, soups, sauces, dips, meats (including chicken and fish), seafood, pasta, and vegetables. They often add color and a light herby flavor.
Dried parsley contributes a bright, fresh, mildly herby flavor with a subtle, slightly peppery note. It’s often used more for color and a light taste boost than for strong seasoning.
Parsley is commonly blended with garlic, onion, black pepper and basil. In more complex seasoning mixes it appears alongside oregano, celery seed, cayenne, mustard, turmeric, lemon peel or lemon oil, and other ingredients listed in blends.
