Parsnip, raw

Parsnip is a root vegetable. The figures here describe it raw, with the ends trimmed and the skin peeled. It mainly provides carbohydrate, along with fibre and a range of vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 13g of carbohydrate, 4.7g of fibre, 17mg of vitamin C and 450mg of potassium.

Fibre helps support normal bowel function, while vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Potassium contributes to normal muscle and nerve function. Raw parsnip contains little salt or saturated fat; adding salt, butter or other ingredients during preparation will change its nutritional content.
