Use<\/h4>

Fresh herbs are more delicate, unlike their dried versions, and do not tolerate heat well. That\u2019s why, if you\u2019re making a hot dish, it\u2019s best to add them at the end of cooking. For cold dishes, however, you want the aromas to develop, so you want to add your herbs at the beginning.<\/p><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″]

\"\"<\/div>

Storage<\/h4>

When sold cut, herbs will easily keep for at least a week in the refrigerator; you can also keep them fresh by wrapping them in a damp cloth. If they still have their roots, they\u2019re best stored in a container that allows the roots to soak in water. Parsley root, of course, is always sold with the root, but for coriander and fenugreek, we leave the choice to you. Lastly, if you think you won\u2019t be using all of them, you can easily dry your herbs by hanging them upside down.<\/p><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]

<\/div>[vc_custom_heading text=”Fenugreek:<\/strong> an ancient herb with a myriad of benefits” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:32|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”vcr_heading-right” css=”.vc_custom_1606768081698{padding-bottom: 15px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Fenugreek, which originated in the Middle East, is a legume plant that is very popular in Indian cuisine. Grown for its leaves as well as for its seeds, it is one of the oldest plants in recorded history. Studies suggest that fenugreek could have a beneficial impact in the fight against diabetes, has tonic qualities to help with digestion.\u00a0.\u00a0. and may also stimulate diminished libido! At Fermes Leclair, we sell it in bunches as an aromatic herb.<\/p>\n

Fenugreek has three-toothed leaves, like clover. With a mild anise\/licorice-like flavour, sharp and slightly bitter, it can be eaten and cooked much like spinach. So you can use it fresh in salads or cooked to go with other vegetables, and to season stews or soups.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”10079″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

Though it looks a lot like Italian parsley, it stands out for its slightly anise-like taste, which for some people means that \u201csoapy gum\u201d flavour. Let\u2019s face it: coriander is one of those herbs that people tend to either love or hate. All parts are edible, and it is widely used in Asian cuisine to flavour soups, grilled meats, spring rolls, etc. Coriander is certainly very versatile, and can be used in a multitude of dishes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
<\/div>[vc_custom_heading text=”Parsley root: . <\/strong>an herb. . . and a root vegetable” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:32|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”vcr_heading-right” css=”.vc_custom_1606768150936{padding-bottom: 15px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Native to Turkey, root parsley belongs to the same family as flat and curly parsley, but is mainly cultivated for its root. To tell it apart from parsnip, its close relative, look at the spot where the leaves emerge: on a parsnip it\u2019s indented, and on root parsley it\u2019s rounder, like a carrot.<\/p>\n

Parsley root is cooked as you would carrots. It has a pronounced flavour reminiscent of a mix between parsley, parsnip and celery root, which makes it a great accompaniment for red meat or poultry dishes. You can also grate it and add it to a salad. And the leafy tops can be used anywhere you would use flat parsley.<\/p>\n

Parsley root will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator. As with carrots, it\u2019s a good idea to remove the leafy tops so that they don\u2019t draw moisture from the root and dry it out.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”10082″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
