parsleys
- 1Plural of parsley.
The nursery stocked several parsleys, from curly-leaved types to the flat Italian kind.
Cooks often debate which of the common parsleys gives a brighter, cleaner flavor.
Note
A plural the herb rarely needs, since parsley in the kitchen is usually a mass noun: you buy a bunch of parsley, not three parsleys. The count form earns its place when sorting kinds, such as the plant's many cultivars or the looser family of look-alikes like Chinese parsley (cilantro) and French parsley (chervil). The same spelling also serves the verb: she parsleys the potatoes.
