Haukrei Turnips
Season:
- Early spring through fall
- Haukrei Turnips are the Japenese variety of Turnips with a sweet flavor. These turnips do not need to be cooked and are often used in salads.
- These turnips can last in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Use greens of turnips as soon as possible
- Peel and cut the turnips into quarters. Spread the pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in the freezer. When completely frozen, transfer the turnips to a freezer safe container with 1/2-inch headspace to allow for food expansion. Frozen chunks may be added directly to stews or into the oven for roasting, or thawed before using.
