About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

You have ‚Halblange Weiße’, a proven old standard variety with cone‑shaped, cream‑white roots about 20 cm long, the classic parsnip for the home garden. It grows reliably in deep, loose soil and can be left in the bed all winter; a few frost nights even make it sweeter. You harvest it from October as needed and use it for soup, puree, and roasted vegetables. Seed‑stable and easy to replant, a reliable classic.

Mild and sweet with a nutty‑spicy undertone, noticeably rounder in flavor after the first frost.
