Guest guest Posted March 2, 2001 Report Share Posted March 2, 2001 I saw turnips in the store - big ones, like grapefruit and small ones, like oranges. Is there some tenderness factor with one vs the other? Looks like the middle is a big stem - do you eat that part? HJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2001 Report Share Posted March 2, 2001 HJ, The turnips we have available here are more the size of tangerines. You can use the whole turnip . . . there isn't a core, per se. The larger ones may be a bit more fibrous, as in most vegetables.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2001 Report Share Posted March 2, 2001 Thanks, Terry. I am also assuming you peel them?

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2001 Report Share Posted March 14, 2001 I like to cut them in pieces and boil till soft, and mash them just as you would potatoes. Don't put much cream in them though, because I find that they are moister than a potato. Add butter, salt & pepper... yum yum! --- Sue Huls wrote: > I bought one tonight can someone give me some good ways to use it again?
