Growing Method
BelOrta’s parsnips are grown in open fields, meaning the vegetable grows outdoors without the protection of greenhouses or tunnels. This growing method allows the parsnip to absorb all the nutrients from the natural soil, developing a full flavour. In addition, field cultivation produces a firm and healthy vegetable that fits perfectly in a variety of dishes.
