My last November produce item spotlight, is a vegetable that many might not even know what it is… so what is a parsnip? Parsnips is a root vegetable that belongs to the same family as carrots, celery, and parsley. They are long in shape, with a cream-colored skin and flesh. Usually harvested starting in November, the longer they are left in the ground, the sweeter they become… so the best time to harvest is after winter frosts. Parsnips have many health benefits as listed below. They are high in potassium, folate, dietary fiber, and vitamin C. It’s recommended that in order to maximize the health benefits of parsnips, prepare them either by roasting or steaming them.
