 Parsnip Description: A sweet, aromatic root that looks like a carrot, only it is a tan color with white flesh. There are varying shapes of parsnips: bulbous types are stocky with rounded shoulders; wedge types are broad and long; and bayonet types are long and narrow. Availability: November - March Facts: In medieval Europe, sugar was rare and honey expensive so the juices of the sweet parsnip were evaporated, and the brown residue was used to sweeten foods. Parsnips were used as a sweetener until the development of the sugar beet in the 19th century. Serving Size = ˝ cup Selection: Choose parsnips that are firm. Smaller parsnips are not more tender or sweeter than larger parsnips. Freshness is more important than size. Older parsnips get fibrous. Storage:
Store in a
cool dry place Nutrition Benefits: Parsnips are a good source of fiber, folate, magnesium, potassium, Vitamins C and E, calcium, iron, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and B6.
