Herb
Crispum
B tier
Crispum denotes curled-leaf chervil in Latin cultivar style—frilled margins like curled parsley’s cousin in the chervil world. Taste remains delicate; the crispum form is about leaf architecture for garnish. Treat as curled chervil in recipes. Useful when a menu wants visual texture without stronger herbs. Keep out of high heat and strong winds that desiccate fine frills.
