Native to Eurasia from the Mediterranean through the Caucasus Mountains. Cultivated by early Greek and Roman civilizations. It did not spread as far and wide as many of the other Mediterranean crops. The parsnip was much esteemed and the Emperor Tiberius accepted part of the tribute payable to Rome by Germany in the form of parsnips. In Europe, the vegetable was used as a source of sugar before sugar cane and beet were available. Popular in Northern Europe, the UK, New England and eastern Canada. Thrives in cooler climates than carrots.

White fresh flavored roots 10-15”. Top moderately crowned at growing point about 3“ in diameter, cold tolerant, with better flavor after a light frost. Good producer. It has a small central core, and is thick at the base. Nutty parsley-like favor, delicious raw in salads, baked added to soups, or mashed and service with onions and cream sauce. Parsnips can convert stored starches into sugars with cold temperatures. They are relatively low in moisture and are able to freeze solid and harvested for food or allowed to re-grow as a seed crop when they are left in the ground in the spring.
