Tokyo Turnips are mild, juicy variety of turnip. We eat the tender roots of this plant, which grows in cool weather fall through late spring. Tokyo Turnips are tender, slightly spicy and taste like a cross between a radish and a turnip.

Caring for Tokyo Turnips: Remove rubber band and turnip tops. Store both greens and turnip roots in a moist towel/cloth bag or a plastic bag in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. The greens can be used in soups, steamed, etc. Enjoy greens within 2-4 days, turnips within 4-6 days.

Preparing Tokyo Turnips: Try these turnps raw in salads, thinly sliced on crudite plates or with crackers and cheese. You can also cook them in vegetable or miso soups, or steam or stir fry them. They are also delicious marinated or pickled in vinegar and salt. The greens also slightly spicy, tender and delicious and can be prepared just as other greens.
