General
I like Parsnip juice. It is sweet tasting, similar to carrots. I like to mix Parsnips with other juices to reduce its strong flavor. Parsnips, like carrots, add flavor to the juice and so it's nice to combine Parsnips with other vegetables.
Just remember the general rule of thumb: vegetables grown below ground tend to be higher in sugars than those grown above ground. So when juicing parsnips, just remember that like carrots, they are high in sugar content.
