parsnip canker

[injeanuity]

hi all,
Have just pulled up a parsnip (couldn't wait for the first frost!) and its got canker ::) Is it okay to cut off the affected parts and eat the rest?

Yes

Mine almost always have some canker, I just cut the top off and peel the affected parts away

[gwynnethmary]

Same here!

No probs, as above.   ;D ;D ;D

Totally agree, even with the canker resistant brands you often get the markings.  Just chop it out - home grown are 4 x more tasty than shop bought.

Daft isn't it, but I'd avoid cankered 'snips if I was buying them, but will happily chop up a manky looking home grown.

Our (My) household motto is "I've grown it, you eat it"
