Parsnips

Parsnips

EverydayFresh

Parsnips are a root vegetable closely related to carrots and parsley, recognizable by their creamy ivory color and tapered shape. When cooked, their starch converts to natural sugars, creating a sweeter flavor profile and softer texture than raw parsnips, making them ideal for roasting, mashing, or soups. These starchy roots provide more fiber and potassium than carrots while remaining low in fat, though their carbohydrate content is notably higher than most non-starchy vegetables.
