Produce OASIS Tip of the Day

September 4 - Chervil Information & Tips:

Use chervil in stews, fish, steamed vegetables, salads, salad dressings, meat dishes, savory sauces, egg dishes or as a chopped garnish.

Chervil has a sweet taste, similar to tarragon. In general, herbs should be fresh looking, crisp and brightly-colored. Keep stems wet or store in an air-tight bag.

Avoid herbs that are wilted, have dry brown areas, or are pale or yellow in color. Slimy looking dark spots with small areas of mold indicate old product or poor handling.

Available year-round, chervil is a member of the parsley family, is a lace-like herb, and means, "herb of joy" in Greek.

Legend has it that chervil sharpens a dull wit, restores youth and makes one merry.
