Parsnips are a good source of vitamin C and vitamin B which assists in the functioning of the digestive system, skin and nerves. They also provide some vitamin E and, in Roman times, were believed to be an aphrodisiac. They are commonly served fried, roasted, boiled or steamed and can be used as a thickener in certain types of soup... they also come in a much more diverse variety than what you typically find in the grocery store. This open source DIY parsnip resource shares some rare varieties along with cultural considerations, planting guidelines, where to buy seeds, recipes, and more.
