Oh my gosh. I did not know that. I normally can't stand them (add parsnips to my roots avoidance), and only armored nips, properly precooked and then spiced and baked are edible to me. I thought it was all the mashed overcooked gluey masses I had to eat in an English school in first and second grade (G). I must be one of the 20-25%! Good to know! Explains a lot….
