Perhaps the roots did not have enough humidity? Parsnips do best when stored in an area that is around 32 to 35 degrees F, and 90 to 95 percent humidity. Be sure to trim off the leaves, down to about 2 to 3 inches, before storing the roots. For long-term (between 4 and 6 months), store the roots in slightly damp sand, sawdust, or leaves.
