Other: The Harris Model is a reliable heirloom parsnip that remains very popular. These parsnips grow to 12″ long with a 3 1/2″ diameter and are tapered. They are high in sugar and have a sweet, slightly nutty taste. They are finely textured with a small core. Parsnips can be used as a substitute for carrots or potatoes and are ideal for roasting or mashing, and can also be added to soups, stews, salads, breads, and other desserts. The cool weather enhances their sweetness, and they store well, lasting up to 6 months.
