Organic Parsnip (500g) Australia

Parsnips, a staple in European kitchens since Roman times, were once a sweetener before sugar became common. Their creamy white roots have a sweet, nutty flavour with earthy undertones, which deepens when roasted or cooked in soups and stews.

Parsnips are a great source of fibre, supporting digestion and heart health. They’re rich in vitamins C & K, which boost immunity and bone strength, and they also provide folate, essential for energy and cell growth.

Barry’s tips: Roast parsnip batons with olive oil, honey, and a sprinkle of thyme for a caramelised, sweet side dish. For a comforting winter soup, blend cooked parsnips with vegetable stock, garlic, and a dash of cream.
