Parsley means fresh parsley leaves, the everyday green herb used in sauces, salads, stocks, and garnishes. One metric cup (250 ml) of chopped parsley weighs about 60 grams or 2.12 ounces. When a recipe calls for parsley by the cup but you have a bunch on the board, converting by weight keeps the amount right.

Chopped parsley settles differently depending on how fine you cut it and how firmly you pack the cup, so grams give a more reliable measure. This helps when scaling tabbouleh, gremolata, and herb sauces.

Also known as

  • fresh parsley
  • flat-leaf parsley
  • curly parsley
  • italian parsley

Coriander (cilantro) looks like flat-leaf parsley and is measured the same way by the cup, but its flavour is citrusy and divisive. Swap by volume only when the recipe wants that distinct taste. See our Coriander converter.

Mint is another fresh herb measured by the cup, sweeter and more cooling than parsley. Use mint in sweet dishes and drinks, parsley in savoury ones. See our Mint converter.
