Salad (Hakeuri) Turnip

This Japanese variety is sometimes referred to as a salad turnip, due to its crisp, delicious raw flavour.  Unlike other turnip varieties, hakurei do not need to be cooked.  They have an even-textured density and the flavor pairs well with a variety of different food items.  Eat them raw (just whole, or chopped/grated in salads), make a quick pickle, or cook with their greens to enhance their natural sweetness.  Sold in 2lb bags.

Handling: Wash and peel the turnip root. Turnips should not be overcooked, or they will become dark in color and strong in flavor. The summer turnip, when sliced, can be cooked in thirty minutes.
