This Australian heirloom variety produces long, white roots prized for their sweet, nutty flavor. The flavor of 'Melbourne White Skin' parsnips is notably enhanced by exposure to cooler temperatures, including frost, which promotes sugar development within the root. In colder climates, roots can overwinter in the ground for harvest in early spring. 'Melbourne White Skin' parsnips are versatile in culinary applications, suitable for steaming, baking, and use in preparations such as chips and soups.
