PARSNIP
Parsnips are the underachievers of the vegetable world. They take all season in the soil, waiting for the first frost to turn sweet. As you can probably tell by the family resemblance, parsnips are related to carrots, but pack more punch. They tend to turn sweeter when they are cooked, but they can be eaten raw. They are very high in potassium and fiber.
QUICK IDEAS: chop and boil with potatoes before mashing. roast in the oven with other roots; shave into a salad
