(Lomatium dissectum)

Heirloom sweet root vegetable similar to carrot but much larger (root can be 3 ft long and 6 inches around=huge really huge) and off white, has a hint of ginger flavor. These are a delicacy on my family and it used to be a food reserved for royalty. Find out why when you make candied parsnips. A hard freeze sweetens these (Summer harvest make for bitter parsnips), so to get an extra large and sweet crop I recommend planting these in Spring and allowing them to continue growing through Summer, then winter, then another Summer and harvest Late Fall only after a hard frost (11/2 years in ground approx). If you a fortunate like me to live in a climate where hard frosts and freezes are the norm.
