Parsnips

Selection: Parsnips have a long, tapering shape similar to carrots, but their skin and flesh are creamy white. The roots are generally smooth, although some may have lateral roots.

Preparation: Parsnips can be eaten raw or cooked. They are versatile and can be roasted, boiled, mashed, or added to soups and stews. Their sweet flavor pairs well with savory herbs and spices.

Good for you: Parsnips are rich in vitamins C and K, folate, and dietary fiber. They also contain antioxidants that help protect the body from oxidative stress.

And taste so good: They have a sweet, nutty flavor that becomes even sweeter after exposure to frost. The texture is starchy and tender when cooked, making them a great addition to various dishes.

Storage: Best kept in a plastic bag in the fridge.
