Parsnips

Parsnips are root vegetables closely related to carrots and parsley. They are cream-colored with a long, tapered shape and have a sweet, nutty flavor that becomes richer after exposure to cold or when cooked.

They are commonly used in soups, stews, roasts, and purées, and can also be fried or mashed. Parsnips are high in dietary fiber, vitamins (especially vitamin C and folate), and minerals like potassium, making them both nutritious and versatile in cooking.
