Just dug up my last parsnips as I needed to clear the ground. I have 4 short but very thick parsnips but I'm not going to be able to use them all at once. What is the best method of storage for them? I haven't washed them just brushed some of the wet soil off them.
Just leave them topped on the ground, away from wind and sun. Going to store there for 2/4 weeks at least. Have some "post Christmas" clearance bags @ 5p (1Kg) from Tesco just outside the back door. Cant grow them for that!
Ancellsfarmer , I'm going to sound stupid here but what do mean by "topped" :happy7:
Trimmed of foliage. Otherwise they will shrink due to transpired moisture.
After that they store well peeled, frozen... :wave:
Turn them into parsnip soup
(Lots of recipes on the interweb)
And freeze in batches
