Food Tip of the Week: Parsnips

Posted on November 24, 2020 (January 31, 2023) by Vinny Steo

Food Tip of the Week: Parsnips

Parsnips, unjustly neglected by many of us today, are easy to prepare and offer a healthy stand-in for potatoes as a side dish. It also makes an excellent addition to soups and stews. Though not as popular as potatoes, they might very well be the thing missing from your weekly menu.

The vegetable resembles a top-heavy, ivory-colored carrot, but has a mild celery-like fragrance and a sweet, nutty flavor. There are several common varieties that are all similar in size, taste, and color. The All American is the most popular variety followed by the Hollow Crown Improved and Harris Model.

Parsnips are not a major commercial crop, but they are available year-round peaking during the months between October and May. The largest producers are Northern California and Michigan. Parsnips are one of the few vegetables that benefit from an early frost. The cold turns its starch to sugar, giving it its sweet, nutty flavor.

So if you’re up to the challenge, replace the old mash potatoes for something a little sweeter and let your taste buds explore.

"Tom Hall and Vinny Steo made our first home purchase very stress-free and as easy as possible. They react extremely quickly to not only emails and questions but to ensure you get in immediately to see the house you want. At every step of the process, Tom and Vinny were side by side with us and made us feel not just like a client but family. What could have been a stressful situation in this market, they made sure it was the complete opposite. They took the time to listen and care and that is all you could ask for. Hands down the best there is! I highly recommend Tom Hall and Vinny Steo, as you will not be disappointed."

"I want to thank Krissy for doing an outstanding job. She was very professional and answered all calls and messages. During our initial meeting, she went through the marketing process, detailing every step, from preparing the house for the showing to the settlement date.

Do not hesitate to call Vinny and his associates."
