Everwilde Farms - 1 lb All American Parsnip Seeds - Gold Vault Bulk Seed Packet

This parsnip variety has white flesh and is tender with mild, delicate flavor! The roots of this parsnip grow up to 12" long and have a small core and hollow crown. All-American is a good keeper and is frost resistant. These are extra sweet when harvested in the fall. A close relative of parsley root and carrots, the parsnip most likely originated in Europe, where it grew wild for centuries. The ruling class claimed this vegetable for their own, prizing it for its natural sweetness; desserts often featured the parsnip, and at one time it provided a source of sugar. Americans first experienced the parsnip in the 16th century, but it has remained primarily a European favorite.
