AboutLeírás

The parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) is a root vegetable closely related to carrot and parsley, all belonging to the flowering plant family Apiaceae. It is a biennial plant usually grown as an annual. Its long taproot has light cream colored skin and flesh, and, left in the ground to mature, becomes sweeter in flavor after winter frosts. In its first growing season, the plant has a rosette of pinnate, mid-green leaves. If unharvested, it produces a flowering stem topped by an umbel of small yellow flowers in its second growing season, later producing pale brown, flat, winged seeds. By this time, the stem has become woody, and the taproot inedible. The parsnip is native to Eurasia; it has been used as a vegetable since antiquity and was cultivated by the Romans, although some confusion exists between parsnips and carrots in the literature of the time. It was used as a sweetener before the arrival of cane sugar in Europe. Introduced to the Americas by European settlers, it has become a common weed in North America. All who may come upon it in the wild should exercise caution, for all its parts contain furanocoumarins that can sensitize mammalian tissue to sunlight and so cause photodermatitis in the form of a skin rash or even blisters; its contact with the eyes can potentially blind them. Parsnips are usually cooked but can also be eaten raw. The flesh has a sweet flavor, even more so than carrots. It is high in vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals (especially potassium); and also contains both soluble and insoluble dietary fiber. Parsnips are best cultivated in deep, stone-free soil. The plant is attacked by the carrot fly and other insect pests, as well as viruses and fungal diseases, of which canker is the most serious.

A pasztinák (Pastinaca sativa) az ernyősvirágzatúak (Apiales) rendjébe, ezen belül a zellerfélék (Apiaceae) családjába tartozó faj, amely a sárgarépával (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) rokon és Európában őshonos gyökérzöldség. Nemzetségének típusfaja. Már az ókorban ismerték, és csak a burgonya érkezése után szorult vissza. Népies nevei: fehérrépa, peszternák, paszternák, olaszrépa, latin nevéből pasztinák, helytelenül édesgyökérnek is nevezik. A gyökér és a mag a petrezselyemhez hasonló ízű, csak kissé édesebb. A levelét nem használják. A petrezselyemnél nagyobb tápértékű, ezért ezt az újra közkedvelt növényt a konzervipar is használja. A 16-22 centiméter hosszú gyökér a petrezselyemnél gazdaságosabb, édeskés, sima felületű és fűszeres ízű.
