A white-cream-coloured root vegetable with an agreeable peppery taste. A winter vegetable.

Parsnips are root vegetables that look like white carrots. They have a sweet, nutty flavor. Try cooking them just until they are tender and sprinkling them with some fresh herbs for a simple salad.

To see or eat parsnips, is a favorable omen of successful business or trade, but love will take on unfavorable and gloomy aspects.
