Chervil

Anthriscus cerefolium

Culinary, Digestive Aid

Chervil is a delicate culinary herb (think ‘fancy parsley’) used for gentle digestion support and as a fresh green addition to soups, eggs, and sauces. It’s mostly a food-herb, not a heavy medicinal one.

Key Benefits

Supports digestion comfort routines as a gentle culinary herb.
Adds fresh flavor without heavy spice or heat.
Helps people enjoy healthier meals (which is secretly half the battle).

Common Issues It May Help With

Mild digestion comfort routines.
Low-herb/low-veggie flavor support routines.

How To Use (Simple)

Add at the end of cooking (heat kills the delicate flavor).
Use fresh in salads, eggs, soups, or yogurt sauces.
Combine with parsley, lemon, and olive oil for an easy ‘green sauce’.

Taste / Notes

Mild, sweet, parsley-like with an anise hint.

Evidence Level

Primarily food-based wellness and digestion support.

Cautions

Generally safe as food. If you have plant allergies, start small.

Interactions

No major known interactions as food.
