Hollow Crown Parsnip seeds

SKU: H99769

Hollow Crown Parsnips are a popular heirloom from the 1800s. Each root is around 12 inches long with a creamy white exterior. The name is derived from the top of the parsnip being slightly recessed where the greens protrude hence the name "hollow crown".The flavor has been described as sweet, nutty, mild, and earthy. These are delicious when harvested after spring, and even tastier in the fall after they've been kissed with a light frost. Try these stir-fried in a melody with carrots, potatoes, turnips, and other root-type vegetables. These can also be made into fries or used in soups and stews to add texture and sweetness.
