"Parsnips need the right conditions to ensure they stick around for a few weeks - or longer. Since they are typically left underground during the winter, parsnips are a pretty durable vegetable. They can last about one or two weeks at room temperature, but transferring them to the fridge increases their lifespan to anywhere from two to six months. However, you cannot just stick them in the fridge and expect the veggies to keep for months."
"Wrap them in a plastic bag to trap the moisture in, or place it in the fridge's vegetable crisper drawer, where they will get the perfect amount of humidity. When you do keep the parsnips in the fridge, you will want to keep them away from other produce. Fruits and vegetables that produce ethylene gas, like apples, tomatoes, avocados, and peppers, can cause parsnips to develop a bitter taste and go bad faster."
"they are still good. When parsnips first start to lose their freshness, their once-smooth exterior will start to wrinkle. The veggies are typically hard, but they'll also develop a soft, limp texture. At this point, they are still safe to eat. You can probably bring the parsnips back to life by snipping off the ends and soaking the veggies in ice cold water."
Parsnips are hardy root vegetables that last about one to two weeks at room temperature and two to six months when stored properly in the fridge. Proper storage requires maintaining humidity by wrapping them in plastic or placing them in the refrigerator crisper drawer. Keep parsnips away from ethylene-producing fruits and vegetables to avoid bitterness and accelerated spoilage. When harvesting, trimming a few inches off the leaves helps prolong freshness. Excess parsnips can be stored in a cool, humid root cellar, basement, or garage. Wrinkling and a soft, limp texture indicate loss of freshness but can often be revived with cold water.
