Chervil is a delicate culinary herb with a mild, anise-like flavour, used raw or lightly cooked in French cuisine as part of the classic fines herbes blend, and commonly scattered over soups, salads, eggs and fish dishes. Because heat diminishes its flavour quickly, it is typically added at the end of cooking or used fresh as a garnish. Per 100 g, raw chervil provides 24 kcal, 2.2 g of protein, 0.6 g of fat, 3.4 g of carbohydrates and 2 g of dietary fibre, with only 0.6 g of sugars. It is a notable source of potassium (597 mg per 100 g), calcium (273 mg per 100 g), vitamin A (245 mcg per 100 g), folate (220 mcg per 100 g) and vitamin C (37 mg per 100 g). Chervil is compatible with vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, keto, paleo, mediterranean and low-FODMAP dietary patterns.
