parsnip canker
« on: October 11, 2010, 10:06:59 »
hi all,
Have just pulled up a parsnip (couldn't wait for the first frost!) and its got canker ::) Is it okay to cut off the affected parts and eat the rest?

Mine almost always have some canker, I just cut the top off and peel the affected parts away

Totally agree, even with the canker resistant brands you often get the markings.  Just chop it out - home grown are 4 x more tasty than shop bought.

Daft isn't it, but I'd avoid cankered 'snips if I was buying them, but will happily chop up a manky looking home grown.
