Question: what is the taste difference between parsley and cilantro?
Answer: Parsley has a milder flavor, while cilantro is bolder. Between the two, parsley is the tamer of the herbs. “Parsley has a mild flavor complex with a slightly peppery, spicy, yet very fresh and bright flavor,” says Nashville-based dietitian Jenny Beth Kroplin, RD, LDN. Some people also get a lemon vibe from parsley.
