The parsnip, a long taproot that is versatile and high in folate, potassium, fiber, and Vitamin C, is the long-lost relative of the carrot and celery. Parsnips have a sweet, nutty flavor and a silky skin, making them an excellent addition for both sweet and savory recipes. Because of their high sugar content, parsnips can be utilized in both sweet and savory dishes. Boiling, frying, or pureeing parsnips are the finest ways to prepare them.
