Parsnip Facts...
? The name comes from the French pastinaca and the ?nip? added to indicate its resemblance to the turnip.
? Rather than destroy the plant a parsnip improves with a frost as this turns a lot of the starch into sugar.
? Much of the flavour compounds of the parsnip are to be found under the skin, this is why many recipes call for parsnips to remain unpealed.
? The roots of wild parsnip are said to aid bowel movement and urine discharge.
