Parsnip Halblange White, or Pastinaca sativa, is a variety of parsnip known for its striking white roots, which are quite uniform in length and have strong tops. This plant is popular for its culinary versatility and can be used in salads, parsley puree, roasted dishes, soups, and stews. It is also mentioned as a suitable option for swine feed. The roots of this variety typically grow up to 10 inches long and have a wedge shape. It is important to note that parsnips, including the Halblange White variety, are slow to germinate and require a longer growing season than carrots. Care should be taken when handling parsnip plants, as the foliage contains furanocoumarin, which can irritate and burn exposed skin.
Seeds per packet - 500.
