✦ Fibre-rich ✦ Folate source ✦ Vitamin C ✦ Potassium source

Parsnip is a sweet, starchy root related to the carrot, providing more carbohydrate and energy than most other root vegetables. It is a useful source of fibre, folate, vitamin C and potassium.

🍳
Preparation note

Raw parsnip retains the most vitamin C and folate but is rarely eaten that way due to its starchy texture; finely grate into slaws if using uncooked.
