The Perfect Parsnip!
Why do we at Petit Organics love the parsnip? Well, for a starter, parsnips are an ideal first food for babies; their sweet, nutty flavor will help to prime your little one's palate for vegetables. Parsnips are loaded with essential fiber, Omega-3's and vitamins such as Folic Acid, Potassium, Iron and Calcium which help your baby grow and thrive.
When incorporated into your family's daily diet, parsnips provide a long list of health benefits: they help strengthen the immune system, prevent colds and infections, support strong bones, ease digestion and improve iron absorption. A root vegetable that tastes great with a seemingly endless list of nutritional benefits: you just can't go wrong with the Parsnip! It's Perfect!
