Parsnip

Original post dated 26,04,2012

Since yesterday Tigger eats parsnips. For some reason it doesn't seem to be popular in our country. Pity because it is full of goodness and, most importantly, it's easy to digest for a little tummy.

Parsnip contains calcium, vitamin C, fiber and even some protein. It has a slightly nutty-sweet taste. Perfect baked or simply boiled / steamed. Suitable for freezing.

Parsnip Puree with carrots, zucchini, apple and cinnamon (and little banana)
5 months
time of preparation: 10-15 minutes
suitable for freezing


2 parsnips
2 carrots
half zucchini (no skin)
1 apple
pinch of cinnamon

Clean, peel, and cut into cubes all ingredients and steam until tender. Add the cinnamon. Puree to a suitable consistency. If the puree is too thick, add a little water left from cooking. Freeze extra portions (without banana). Keeps up to 4 weeks in the freezer.
Tigger got today a piece of banana to chew on. He was delighted. He chewed almost entire piece. I added the leftovers to the puree.
