Parsnip Nutrition
the nutritional value of parsnips and full parsnip nutrition information...
Parsnips contain various nutrients in good amounts, including potassium, fibre and manganese.
Parsnips contain good amounts of potassium which helps the nerves and muscles to function properly and also maintains the bodies' acid balance. Potassium also helps to lower the risk of high blood pressure.
Parsnips contain a good amount of fibre which helps with bowel regularity, thereby helping to prevent bowel cancer. Fibre also helps to maintain normal blood sugar and
cholesterol
levels.
Parsnips also provide a good amount of niacin (vitamin B3) which helps to lower cholesterol levels and also stabilises the blood sugar.
Providing a good amount of vitamin K, parsnip nutrition can
help with blood clotting and also help to prevent postmenopausal bone loss. Vitamin K also provides possible protection against liver and prostate cancer.
One cup of parsnips provides around 100 calories.
