Storage
Store turnips in a cool place. At 0-4 degrees they will keep for up to three to five months.

You can also keep them in the fridge for a long time, preferably in a (plastic) bag.

You can also freeze the turnip; in that case, peel and wash them first and cut them into cubes. Blanch the cubes for 2 minutes and let them cool in ice water. After letting them drain, you can freeze them in a sealed bag.

Prepare
Turnips are best peeled and sliced or diced before further processing in a dish. Turnips are ideal in a (bound) soup with some grated cheese and courgette on top or as an addition to a hearty vegetable soup.

There are also many other recipes with turnips. This turnip is also delicious in a spring stew with some potatoes and turnip greens. Or in a stew with leeks, rosemary and 30+ cheese.

You can also stir-fry them with peppers, courgette and onion or braise them in oil and chives with potatoes and meat.

Storage times

Refrigerator: 1-2 weeks

Cleaning turnip

To clean the turnip, first remove the leaves (turnip greens) if necessary. You can eat these leaves, by the way, but they have a slightly shorter cooking time than the turnips themselves.

Wash the turnip before use and cut a slice from the bottom and top.
