Parsley Root

Also called Hamburg Parsley and Turnip-Rooted Parsley, this parsley subspecies is grown for its beige, carrot-like root which tastes like a cross between a carrot and celery. It's used in parts of Europe in soups, stews and simply as a vegetable. Selection: Choose firm roots with feathery, bright green leaves. Storage: Refrigerate in a plastic bag for up to a week.
