Description

'Parsnip- Melbourne White Skin' seeds

Pastinaca sativa

  • Australian Heirloom variety
  • Long white roots
  • Flavour improved by frost

An Australian heirloom variety that grows long white roots. Flavour will be improved if left in the ground over cooler weather, including frost, which allows sugars to develop in the root. In cold climates parsnips can be left in the ground over winter to harvest in early spring. Parsnips have a sweet nutty flavour and can be steamed, baked or used to make chips or soup.
