About Turnip greens, canned, solids and liquids

The turnip (Brassica rapa) is a humble, versatile root vegetable with crisp white flesh and a purple-blushed shoulder, related to cabbage and mustard and known for a peppery, slightly sweet flavor that mellows and turns almost nutty with cooking. Both the round root and its leafy tops are edible, and the greens are especially nutritious, a beloved Southern staple simmered until tender in their own pot likker.

Turnips are low in calories and offer vitamin C, fiber, potassium, and the beneficial compounds common to the cabbage family. Young, small turnips, including the sweet Japanese Hakurei types, are tender and mild enough to eat raw in salads or with dip, while larger roots are best roasted, mashed, added to soups and hearty beef stews, or boiled and whipped like potatoes for a lighter, lower-calorie side.

Long a thrifty cold-weather staple, the turnip was even the original jack-o'-lantern, carved in Ireland and Scotland long before the pumpkin. Choose firm, smooth turnips that feel heavy for their size, store the roots in the refrigerator, and keep the greens separately, using them quickly before they wilt.
