Parsley Root Question for Gardeners

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

Personal question here. YAH, SPRING ALMOST HERE!

After 6 inches of snow yesterday, it was nice and sunny today. I spent a

bit of time digging out my small greenhouse (still plenty of snow on the

ground) and I still had " dead " flat leaf and curly leaf parsley in their from

last summer.

Well, as I was cleaning up the bed, and turning the dirt, I found some

nice " finger size " parsley roots.

I've NEVER used parsley roots, but recall hearing about it.

I did a google search of " parsley root " and it sounds like the usual ones

usually aren't from regular " curly and flat leaf " parsley. But, I'm thinking

they should STILL be just fine. (They didn't appear to have frozen, since

they were deep in the dirt and in the greenhouse.)

So, can I just clean and use them as you would other edible roots (like

turnip, parsnip, etc)? I'm thinking " yes. "

TIA,
