| Kew status | Accepted species ( Plants of the World Online ) |
| classification | Apiaceae · Pastinaca |
| Edible parts | enlarged storage roots |
| Separate management area | leaves, stems, flowers, seeds |
| Major harvesting stages | Young root / Fresh Grade / Storage Grade / Processing Grade / Seed |
| Basic product form | Soil-on·Washed·Trimmed·Peeled·Whole·Half·Stick·Slice·Dice·Cooked·Frozen·Dried |
| Basic processing stage | Washing → Trim → Peeling → Cutting → Heating · Roasting · Puree · Freezing · Drying |
| Basic use | Fresh · Soup · Stew · Roast · School Meals · Dining Out · HMR · Freeze · Dried |
| Similarity Principle | Separating Apiaceae root vegetables and species, such as carrots and parsley roots |
Since Kew demonstrates the existence of multiple species in the genus Pastinaca, other Pastinaca species are not grouped with P. sativa solely by the common name "parsnip." ( Plants of the World Online )

Under the EU Classification of Foods for Pesticide Residues, Parsnips and Pastinaca sativa are classified under separate agricultural product codes and distinguished from radish and parsley root. This serves as the basis for recognizing parsnips as an independent commodity entity in international food residue management. ( Legislation.gov.uk )
