PARSNIP (root vegetable)
The storage root of parsnip (
Pastinaca sativa)
is characterized by a significant concentration of vitamin K (phylloquinone) (35.0% of the Daily Value [DV] per 100 g),
ascorbic acid (22.0%), and
pantothenic acid (10.0%). Its
mineral profile is notably rich in:
vanadium (200.0% DV per 100 g),
boron (91.4%),
silicon (87.0%),
rubidium (44.0%),
cobalt (30.0%),
lithium (25.0%),
manganese (22.0%),
potassium (21.0%),
nickel (15.0%), and
copper (14.5%).
The nutritional profile is further distinguished by its total phytosterol content (36.4% DV), mono- and disaccharides (10.4%), and dietary fiber (23.0%). The root contains significant quantities of sucrose (2.0 g per 100 g) and starch (4.0 g per 100 g).
The total purine base content per 100 g constitutes 3.0% of the daily allowance.
The concentration of
oxalic acid per 100 g is 10 mg, representing
2.5% of the maximum tolerable daily intake (for further details, see
Rhubarb).
Caloric value per 100 g: 47 kcal
