What we grow / Vegetables / Parsnips
Tasmanian parsnips are firm, creamy and full of flavour.
Parsnips are a root vegetable which originated in Europe and thus grow well in Tasmania’s cool climate.
Parsnips are grown in fairly small quantities nationally. The majority of production is in Victoria, Western Australia and Tasmania.
Tasmania contributes 11% of national production.
Parsnips are grown in a range of locations, but largely in the state’s North West.
