beware parsnips
My daughter let some of her last years parsnips go to seed and they were in
her opinion very attractive plants. Yesterday she decided she needed the
room and so pulled them up. A passer by told her that in that state they
were very dangerous and could cause health problems, She donned gloves and
continued to remove the plants, she left them on the ground and intends to
burn them. She did however feel unwell last night so is it true. ? Another
parsnip fact she was told is that the long root of the parsnip should not be
eaten because that is toxic too.
