Turnips

What are those white root veggies in my box anyway? They're turnips, a member of the radish family. Thinly sliced and eaten raw, they have a strong peppery bite and are great in salads. Cooked, the flavor mellows and sweetens, with none of the peppery taste.

Turnips can be used in place of white potatoes in most recipes. They are fabulous in stews and soups, or mashed, like potatoes. Turnips freeze well without becoming mealy, like white potatoes can. Give them a try today. Yummy!
