Premium Expansion Preview: Parsnips

Carrots, parsnips, and red beet are soon options for your virtual farm, when the Premium Expansion for Farming Simulator 22 launches on November 14th. We already took a look at carrots. Let's continue with parsnips! 

Crop Type Info: Parsnips

Depending on where you live, parsnips might be more or less common. It's a versatile root vegetable. Creamy-white color and sweet, earthy flavor. Parsnips are often used in cooking for their hearty texture and slightly nutty taste. No surprise that the resident businesses of Zielonka, the new map of the Premium Expansion, process the crop to create delicious food items.

Need inspiration to cook with parsnips? 

There's almost nothing you can't do with parsnips. You can, in almost every case, substitute carrots or potatoes and similar vegetables in your favorite recipes with parsnips!

Try parsnip soup, parsnip fries, parsnip risotto, parsnip gratin, parsnip purée. Mash them, fry them, glaze them with honey, or EAT THEM RAW (in a salad with apples and carrots, for example. Don't be weird.)

Machines To Plant & Harvest Parsnips

Similar to the aforementioned carrots, you should keep the new field working step in mind when going for parsnips. 

After plowing the field, and before sowing the precious parsnips, you create ridges using ridge formers (or 'rotary hillers'). It improves your yield, by the way, and counts towards the full stage of fertilization. 

The Premium Expansion provides you with new machines. Whether we're talking the ridge formers like the GRIMME GF 400 & 800, or seeders like the Kverneland Miniair Nova series.

For parsnips, you also have the choice between multiple harvesters: Operate the Dewulf ZKIVSE, a self-propelled 4-row top lifting harvester with discharge elevator (shown here while harvesting carrots), and the highlight machine of the expansion...

... or a smaller, more affordable and trailed top lifting harvester like the Dewulf GBC. Whatever suits your financial situation and farm layout best.
