    The parsnip is a root vegetable related to the carrot. Parsnips resemble carrots, but are paler and have a stronger flavor. Like carrots, parsnips are native to Eurasia and have been eaten there since ancient times. Until the potato arrived from the New World, its place in dishes was occupied by the parsnip. Parsnips can be boiled, roasted or used in stews, soups and casseroles.

    They are both very good , especially in soups and stews. Parsnips have their own taste, they do not taste like a carrot. you

    can eat carrots raw but I would not eat a parsnip raw. Until cooked

    parsnips are usually hard.

    parsnips are white, carrots are orange, they are used in different ways of cooking. The taste is much different. Carrots are sweeter than parsnip. Which have a tangy taste.
