Ingredient : 100% FRESH THAI PARSLEY (STINKING)
Product Information : Thai parsley is also known as pak chee farang in the Thai language. This diverse vegetable is a staple ingredient of a multitude of Thai dishes and cuisine. Thai parsley has the reputation of being a difficult herb to grow because its life span is so short lived and needs comparatively cooler temperatures to grow in abundance. This is why Thai parsley is mainly grown in the northern provinces of Thailand where the temperatures are much cooler than the tropical conditions of southern Thailand.
Thai Parsley is rich in irons, calcium and numerous nutrients, which makes the herb very good for your body. The flavour of the herb is strong and pungent, adding a certain element to dishes that you would immediately notice if the Thai parsley was taken out.
Variations of the plant grow in South America, Caribbean, Mexico, Thailand, Vietnam and generally throughout Asia. Within South American and Caribbean cuisines, Thai Parsley is used in a wide variety of stews and soups.
The flavor of the herb has been compared to coriander and used as a garnish for Thai dishes such as Thai Beef Salad (Yam Nua) and Laab Gai. Thai Parsley is also used in a variety of Thai spicy salads such as Som Tam, which are very popular within Thailand with locals and visitors alike.
