About This Item
Chervil is a popular herb where its root and leaves are used. The chervil herb root for example, is used raw or cooked, but should be done with caution as some reports indicated the root to be poisonous. The raw root is rather tough, but has a nice, aromatic, starchy flavor.
Chervil is an 8 - 16 inch tall annual herb growing in USDA zones 3 - 8. Often used for microgreens.
When cooked it becomes floury and sweet with a peculiar flavor that is excellent and unlike any other vegetable. Peeling the roots ruins the flavor. The root is about the size of a small carrot. It can be harvested when the foliage dies down, usually in July/August from an autumn sowing, and stored like potatoes for later use.
It is best harvested as required. More popular are using the chervil leaves as an herb. Chervil has a subtle anise-parsley flavor which can be a delicious addition to green salads, omelets and soup. People use chervil with fish, carrots, corn, eggs, asparagus, potatoes, peas, spinach, and sorrel.
Sowing Rate: 15 - 20 seeds per plant. Chervil grows best in cool weather and light shade. Full sun will bleach out its delicate foliage. You can harvest leaves about 6 to 8 weeks after sowing. Pick the outside leaves of each plant and allow the younger leaves to continue growing.
