Our parsnips are grown by Jan van Geffen in the Flevopolder area of Holland, an area reclaimed from the Zuidersea in the 1950's and 1960's. We get it from Holland as it's just not popular enough to grow on this island (something that totally baffles us as we love the stuff). Polder is the Dutch word for land reclaimed from the sea and most of Jan's farm lies two to three metres below sea level. Along with the newly popular black salsify, Jan also grows Jerusalem artichokes, Hamburg parsley and Parsnips.

A perfect addition to any roast dinner. You do not need to keep your parsnips in your fridge; they are a relatively tough root vegetable. Keep them in a cool dark cupboard, unwrapped, or in a paper bag. Suitable for home freezing.
