We are another family that never peel, only scrub parsnips, the taste is
far superior. We seem fit and well, though sadly only three of mine
germinated this year so will be a famine this Winter! :-(

I'm not good at growing parsnips, which is a great pity because nothing you
can buy from anywhere is as good as a freshly dug parsnip from your own
garden.

That applies to most home grown fruit and vegetables of course but somehow
parsnips beat everything else.
