Hollow Crown Parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) is a classic, high-yielding heirloom favorite prized for its exceptionally sweet, tender roots. Featuring broad, sunken tops ("hollow crowns") with long, tapered ivory-white roots reaching up to 12 inches long, it develops a rich, nutty flavor after exposure to autumn frosts. Outstanding for roasting, mashing, soups, or stews, this cold-hardy staple stores remarkably well throughout the winter.
