Parsnip Juice Concentrate

Parsnip juice concentrate is made from parsnips, a root vegetable related to carrots. The juice is extracted from the parsnips and then concentrated, usually by removing water through evaporation. This process intensifies the natural flavor and sweetness of the parsnip.

Manufacturers use parsnip juice concentrate primarily to add a subtle, earthy sweetness and vegetable flavor to foods. It can also contribute to the overall body and mouthfeel of a product. It is often found in soups, sauces, and some savory prepared meals.

Parsnip juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of natural sugars and dietary fiber from the parsnip. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have not specifically evaluated this concentrated form, but parsnips themselves are considered safe food items. No significant health concerns are associated with its typical use in food products.
