‘Tender & True’ Parsnip

A very well known traditional parsnip variety making large, strongly-flavoured conical white roots (much as you would expect from a parsnip, really!). 

Our late friend Tony Haigh (who bred the wonderful Gardeners' Ecstacy tomato) was very fond of them, and tended to put them in everything, from curry to quiche. While this is a fantastic parsnip, we are not completely convinced about this, and think they are best roasted in the normal manner.

First roots ready from late August onwards, but we usually keep them in the ground until later in the year.

lots of seed, organic. £2.55
