Herb
Darki
B tier
Darki is a deeply coloured curled parsley selected for dark green ruffles and good field holding—popular in European commercial curly production. Flavour is mild garnish-grade; colour is the commercial hook. Bunch for retail curly parsley. Not the first choice for intense salsa verde, but fine where deep green curls matter on the plate.
