Question: what is the difference between fresh parsley and dried parsley?
Answer: Just use a third the amount your recipe calls for if you're swapping dried herbs for fresh. So if your recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley, use 1 teaspoon of dried parsley, because 1 tablespoon equals 3 teaspoons. ... If a recipe calls for two cups of chopped fresh basil, spring for the fresh.
