I hate looking for the Italian parsley in the supermarket when it’s unlabeled almost impossible to distinguish between it and cilantro

P is for Parsley and pointy leaves.

C is for Cilantro and curved leaves.

Sometimes. Italian parsley has stronger stalks, and the leaves have more pointy edges and endings than the cilantro,which is more fan-like. Sometimes ignorant stockers put stuffmin the wrong place. But the smell of themtwo are different and generally the cilantro is wilts more, and is thinner and doesnt stand up well likemitalian parsley. I get parsley regularly for my pets, for the last 11 years.

Curly is good too. My grocer wised up and cilantro is far away from both parslies now.
