Are cowparsnips edible? I think a good rule of thumb about wild food is whether they are available in your local supermarket. If they aren't, there's probably a reason. In this case, parts of the plant are edible, and parts are a problem. To read the experience of a person that tried it, go to http://www.laurieconstantino.com/wild-edibles-how-to-harvest-and-cook-cow-parsnip-greens/. She is pretty positive about it. Myself, I would be leery of eating something you have to wear gloves to handle. If you're not, I can recommend a really good source for gloves.
