If you are interested in knowing what nutrition information is in parsnips, I got you covered. I previously shared this information for carrots, another root vegetable.
I am including some of the nutrition information available on USDA and Wikipedia for carrots. Also, I did some rounding. I am including the items normally listed on the Nutrition Facts Label on food products.
Nutritional Value per 100 g (3.5 oz) of Raw Parsnip
Calories:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 75
Fat:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0.2 g

Don’t forget that parsnips are also good source of Vitamin E and K.
The percentages above tell you how much a nutrient in a serving of food contributes to a daily diet of 2,000 calories.
