Parsnips are a root vegetable related to carrots. They are very nutritious and have a sweet, buttery, slightly spicy, flavor when cooked. Parsnips are native to Europe, like their carrot cousins, and have been eaten there since ancient times. Although they can be eaten raw, they are primarily cooked by boiling, baking, roasting, mashing, or used in stews, soups and casseroles. Roasted parsnip are an essential part of the Christmas dinner menu in some parts of the world. They can even be fermented into a type of wine commonly referred to as "Tanglefoot." Parsnips thrive in soils that are rich, light, and deeply worked. The flavor of parsnips is greatly improved by freezing as this helps convert the starches to sugar. 100 Seeds
