The parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) is a root vegetable related to the carrot. Parsnips resemble carrots, but are lighter in color than most carrots, and have a sweeter taste. When cooked, it has a buttery, slightly spicy, sweet flavor. The parsnip is picked after the first frost. Like carrots, parsnips are native to Eurasia and have been eaten there since ancient times. It can be eaten raw and cooked. Well, you know me by now, so I am going for the option of having it raw since I want to benefit from all its nutritional values.
