Scientific name: pastinaca sativa

The parsnip is an edible root vegetable related to the carrot. It is paler than the carrot, being almost white not bright orange, and has a stronger flavour and is not so crisp.
Like carrots, parsnips can be roasted or fried but are most often used in soups and stews.
