Chervil has a pleasant, lingering flavor profile featuring a light, anise-like flavor with subtle vegetal notes reminiscent of mint, parsley, and tarragon. The bright green leaves are thin, smooth, flat to slightly curved, and have a feathery, frilled appearance. Each leaflet group is attached to a slender and flexible green stem, contributing to the microgreen’s crisp, succulent, and tender consistency.

Chervil is best used fresh as an edible garnish or subtle flavoring. The delicate greens can be sprinkled over soups, salads, casseroles, roasted vegetables, potatoes, and pasta, or they can be selectively placed to enhance the visual appeal of seafood dishes, omelets, and some desserts.

Chervil is a good source of vitamins A, C, and E, which are antioxidants that can help reduce inflammation and boost the immune system. The greens also contain some minerals, including iron, zinc, potassium, copper, and calcium.
