Parsnips are a traditional feature of roast dinners, especially around Christmas. Their flavour really comes into its own after the first frost, when starches turn to sugar and the roots become sweeter and richer. Long before cane sugar arrived, parsnips were even used as a sweetener.
Related to carrots, they are wonderfully versatile in the kitchen. Delicious roasted, mashed or added to soups, they pair beautifully with herbs like rosemary and thyme and sit happily alongside flavours such as garlic and parmesan. You can also lean into their natural sweetness with a drizzle of honey. Here are three super varieties to sow now and enjoy next winter.
Gladiator F1 – large roots with shallow crowns that mature quickly and deliver sweet, crisp parsnips of reliably good quality. A solid choice if you like dependable results.
Tender & True – a long-rooted heirloom variety with the reputation of being one of the best flavoured parsnips around. Try it for yourself and see if you agree.
White Gem – a long established variety that produces excellent quality, medium length roots. These can be lifted from October right through to spring.
