Parsnip
The parsnip is a root vegetable from the same family as carrots, celery, fennel and celeriac. It is ivory-coloured with a delicate, sweet flavour. It is very popular in England with the Sunday roast.
Avoid oversized parsnips - which will be dry and woody. Avoid any with an unpleasant smell or soft spots.
Store in the crisper section of the fridge, unwrapped, for about a week.
