Parsnips
From autumn onwards, parsnips can be harvested and enjoyed. But their best flavour comes out after the first hard frost, which creates a wonderful sweet flavour in parsnips. They act as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, and are high in vitamin C which helps fight infection in the colder months. Parsnips can be eaten in a variety of ways, but one of our favourites is in the recipe below…
