Parsnips are a versatile root vegetable known for their sweet, nutty flavour and creamy texture. They are closely related to carrots but are distinguished by their pale, cream-coloured skin and thicker shape. Parsnips grow best in cooler climates and are typically harvested in late autumn and winter, as exposure to frost enhances their natural sweetness.
Nutritionally, parsnips are a good source of fibre, vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate. They also contain antioxidants that support overall health. Parsnips can be roasted, boiled, mashed, or added to soups and stews. Their sweet flavour pairs well with herbs such as thyme and rosemary, and they are often combined with carrots, potatoes, or other root vegetables for warming winter dishes.
When selecting parsnips, look for firm roots with smooth skin, avoiding those that are shrivelled or blemished. Store them in the refrigerator’s vegetable drawer, ideally wrapped in a damp cloth or paper towel, to maintain freshness for up to two weeks.
