Mashed Parsnips, Carrots & Sweet Potatoes
We are always searching out new vegetables, and our latest discovery of parsnips proved to be a delight. Parsnips were cultivated in Roman times and come from the same biological family as carrots, parsley, and celery. Parsnips are a nutritious root vegetable, shaped like carrots but a creamy color. While parsnips are available all year around, the sweetest parsnips are those that have been in the ground until after frost. ~ June & Kris
