- For the best buy, choose firm heavy turnips with smooth skins and no bruises. If the leaves are attached, they should not be wilted.
- To prepare turnips, remove green tops. Scrub well. Turnips can be eaten raw or cooked.
- To keep fresh, store unwashed turnips in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Store turnip greens wrapped in a damp paper towel for 2-3 days.
- Turnips contain vitamin C, which is good for fighting colds and healing cuts.
