Why we grow it
All American parsnips make white roots that belong in a roasting pan, a pot of soup, or a mash. They can begin to thicken in as little as 95 days.
Wait until after a frost to dig if you want their fullest flavor. Cold changes starch to sugar in the roots, giving the harvest its sweet side.
