Half Long Guernsey Parsnip

PR103


The Guernsey variety was the most popular parsnip of the 19th century. Introduced prior to the 1850’s, this variety is medium-long, and has thick shoulders and smooth white skin. Flavorful flesh gets even sweeter after a good frost in autumn. In 1898, Nebraska Seed Company of Omaha said, "As name indicates, not as long as the Hollow Crown. Quality very sweet and delicate." We are glad to bring you this great old treasure.

I sent seeds that I purchased from BC last season to my Uncle in Arkansas, he grew them this past season and recently sent the Guernsey Parsnips to me as a thank you for the seeds. They are probably the sweetest parsnips I have ever tasted, they roast well too. Added to potatoes they're excellent!.
