Turnip

1. Selection :
   • Turnip greens are usually available with their roots attached. Look for greens that are unblemished, crisp, and deep green in colour.
   • This root vegetable usually sold bunched or topped. In the markets look for fresh roots that are small, firm, round and impart delicate sweet flavour. Avoid larger as well as over matured roots as they are woody in textured and excess in fiber that makes dishes unappetizing.
2. Storage :
   • If you have purchased turnip greens with roots attached, remove them from the root. Store root and greens in separate plastic bags, removing as much of the air from the bags as possible. Place in refrigerator where the greens should keep fresh for about 4 days.
   • Once at home, remove the top greens as they rob nutrients of the roots. The roots can be stored for few weeks at low temperatures (32°-35° F) and high relative humidity (95 percent or above). Use top greens as early as possible as they lose nutrients rather quickly.
