Chervil (Anthriscus cerefolium) is an annual plant, with a very branched stem, 40-60 cm tall, covered with large perisphores, especially in the region of the nodes. The flowers are white and the fruits are elongated and pointed at the ends. Chervil is cultivated for its leaves which, due to their high content in essential oils, impart a specific flavor to food, being frequently used in gastronomy. It is used in medicine as a tonic remedy and to improve the functions of the digestive organs.
