Don't judge these sweet beauties by the dense, thick \"turnipiness\" of the old storage turnips that you see in the supermarket. Salad turnips are light and refreshing!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy favourite way to prepare these for salads is to finely slice them with a mandolin and just toss them in with everything else. The pink ones have a little pink centre too: stunning!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs far as cooking goes, I practically lived on roasted turnip, beetroot, pumpkin, spuds, garlic and meat this past winter, and have really missed having turnips in my meals. Just cut them into a similar, or slightly bigger size as your spuds, toss in some olive oil and fresh herbs and cook them for the same time as everything else. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI'm told that Hakurei turnips are divine fermented too, but I have not tried it yet. Please let me know what you think if you try it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have a few different varieties of salad turnip growing on Leroyd Street, but the Hakurei (the white one) will be most common.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBunches will be mixed colour depending availability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are a specialty item and you probably won't see them as seconds sorry. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGourmet - uniform, clean and crisp roots with edible tops ~5 roots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarket - less uniformity and tops may have some damage, but still useable ~ 8 roots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeconds - mismatched sizes, probably no tops and may have some damage ~10 roots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the time of writing this, I couldn't find salad turnips neither locally nor online.
