How to Pick

Look for parsnips that are firm and straight, without any soft spots or blemishes. The skin should be smooth and free of any cracks. Choose smaller parsnips for a sweeter flavor, or larger ones for a more robust taste. 

Avoid parsnips that feel soft or have a strong odor, as these are signs of spoilage. Additionally, try to select parsnips with fresh-looking green tops, as this indicates that they are still fresh and haven't been sitting on the shelf for too long.

How to Store

Parsnips should be stored in a cool, dark place such as the crisper drawer of the refrigerator. Keep them in a perforated plastic bag to retain moisture and prevent them from drying out. 

Avoid storing them near fruits like apples and pears, as these can cause the parsnips to become bitter. Check on them regularly and use them within a week for the best flavor and texture.

Where it’s Soursed

Our fresh, crisp parsnips are grown in the rich, fertile soils of Tasmania and Victoria, where the cool climate allows them to develop a robust flavor and tender texture.

Serving Suggestions
