Small turnips with smooth skin
According to the experts, purchasers of turnips are best for small, smooth-skinned individuals. These are usually more tender than larger ones and taste especially fresh. Turnips are a cross between turnips and cabbage.

The vegetables can be found at weekly markets, in farm shops and in well-stocked supermarkets. According to aid, it is important during cooking that the cooking time does not exceed 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the size. The vegetables lose nutrients and develop an unpleasant cabbage-like taste when cooked too long. Delicious recipes, for example for a turnip stew, can be found on the Internet. (Ad)
