Turnips - White Salad

Turnip Recipes 

Our White Salad Turnips are a Japanese variety known as "Hakurei".  These little white roots are surprisingly juicy and sweet!  They are often eaten raw sliced in salads, although they also make a wonderful appearance in stir-fries and soups.  (They do not need to be peeled, just gently washed.)  The greens are edible and have a wonderful flavor when lightly steamed or sauteed.  

STORAGE

Store the roots and the greens separately.  They should both be put into plastic bags and kept in the fridge.
