Sweet, earthy and wonderfully versatile, fresh Australian parsnips are a cool-season favourite that shine in hearty, warming dishes. Grown in the rich, loamy soils of Tasmania, Victoria’s Gippsland and the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, they thrive in cold weather and are at their best from late autumn through winter. Naturally high in fibre, vitamin C, and potassium, parsnips are a nourishing root vegetable with a creamy texture and subtly nutty flavour. Perfect for roasting until golden, mashing into purees, or simmering in comforting soups and stews.
