Parsnips contain natural sugars which impart a sweet taste to the vegetable. The Elizabethans used parsnips as a sweetmeat with honey and spices as well as serving the root as a vegetable. The carbohydrate in parsnips is stored in the form of natural sugars. This contrasts with the potato where the carbohydrate is 90% starch. Parsnips are considered sweeter than carrots. With almost three quarters of the sugar in parsnips as sucrose,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the sugar we extract from sugar cane. By comparison,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sucrose accounts for only one third of the sugar in carrots. Sucrose is not at all damaging to health when consumed in its natural form in its parent plant.
The parsnip has been cultivated in Europe for centuries. It was especially popular before the arrival of the potato and was used as a valuable source of carbohydrate.
Culpeper (1653) writes that 'the garden parsnip nourisheth much and is good and wholesome,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but a little windy whereby it is thought to procure bodily lust; but it fatteneth the body if much used. it is good for the stomach and reins (kidneys) and provoketh urine��.
Kevin Pederson has been managing a number of natural home remedies websites which have information on home based natural cures and remedies by some of the common itmes in house as well as parsnips.
Today we appreciate that the parsnip is not fattening,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with a mere 20Kcal per 100g. Compare this to fats and oils at around 900Kcal per 100g.
