Schleswiger Schnee
The variety Schleswiger Schnee is a smooth-skinned, fairly white, beautifully formed parsnip. The crown is only slightly indented. Because it is not too wide at the top and it has particularly firm flesh, the Schleswiger Schnee can withstand the mechanical washing process (only rarely there are bruises) and stores well.
