Melbourne White Skin is a traditional Australian heirloom parsnip valued for its long, smooth roots with delicate white skin and sweet, creamy flesh. A dependable variety for cool-season growing, it develops an excellent flavour that becomes even sweeter after exposure to frost. Ideal for roasting, mashing, soups and stews, this old favourite has remained popular with home gardeners for generations.
