Turnips

White turnips, or ‘Neeps’ as they are affectionately known, are smaller in size than rutabagas with a crisper texture and softer flavour. They are purple on the top and white on the bottom with white flesh.

White Turnips

White turnips were a dietary staple centuries ago and are only now regaining popularity for their subtle flavour which makes them preferable in many dishes. They are also low in calories for their size.

Select:
Firm and heavy for their size
A violet bloom colour around stem that fades to creamy white near the root
Small to medium in size for delicate sweet taste and finer texture

Local BCfresh white turnips are available June to February.
