The Silver Parsnip is a veggie that is found exclusively in The Glass Desert.
They are relatively rare until certain oases are restored; notable locations to find a Silver Parsnip patch include the tunnel leading to a Dervish Plort statue, by the Cocoa Slime Lamp Treasure Pod, and in the Hobson End Temple in the far north of the Glass Desert, near Hobson's final note.

Tips
- Silver Parsnips are easy to grow and harvest while Mosaic Plorts are high in value, making it one of the best Veg/Slime combinations in the game financially. It shares this trait with the Dervish Slime and its favoured Fruit, the Prickle Pear.

Trivia
- The Silver Parsnip's name and the mention of gourmands in the Slimepedia entry may be a loose reference to the "Silver Palete" series of cookbooks, written by Julee Rosso and Shiela Lukins between 1979 and 1995. The mention of ranchers eating Silver Parsnips during the holidays to bring fortune for the coming year may be a reference to the Chinese New Year; a 15-day festival where tradition and fortune plays a heavy role. Physically it is a parsnip with a clean silver finish, giving it the appearence of having been treated with food color spray, similarly to the Gilded Ginger.
- The Silver Parsnip's in-game model once resembled a silver carrot prior to food's graphical update in Update 0.3.1. However their Slimepedia icons continue to resemble one another.
- The Slimepedia claimed the Silver Parsnip was the Meteor Slime's favorite food until Update 0.6.0b, when it was correctly changed to the Mosaic Slime.
