Crisp, fresh, and wonderfully versatile, our homegrown Turnips are a classic cool-season root vegetable with creamy white flesh and a mild, slightly peppery flavor. When eaten raw, turnips have a refreshing crunch and gentle bite; once cooked, their flavor becomes milder, sweeter, and more earthy.
Turnips are a great alternative to potatoes in many dishes and are equally at home in hearty fall meals, soups, roasted vegetable medleys, or fresh salads.
Preparation Ideas
- Peel, cube, and roast with olive oil, garlic, and herbs
- Mash alone or combine with potatoes for a flavorful side dish
- Add to soups, stews, and pot roasts
- Slice or shred raw into salads and slaws
- Sauté with butter, salt, and pepper
- Add to roasted root vegetable medleys with carrots and sweet potatoes
- Cook alongside ham, bacon, or other smoked meats for a traditional country-style dish
Freshly harvested from our fields, Turnips are an old-fashioned fall favorite that deserves a place in the modern kitchen. Enjoy them crisp and peppery when raw or cook them until tender to bring out their mild, naturally sweet flavor.
