Most people are familiar with the better known tasty root part of the Turnip but few take advantage of the amazing nutritional value of turnip greens. Turnips have been cultivated for nearly 4,000 years. Most of the varieties we have today come from the varieties developed by the ancient Greeks and Romans.

As usual, if you wish to have turnip greens easily available, you should grow your own. Finding turnip greens can be difficult in the store, they are almost never sold alone as greens but can be found with roots attached. We've found that farmers markets are great sources for turnip greens - just let the farmers know you want them and they are typically more than happy to keep them for you since most customers don't want the greens when they purchase turnips with the greens attached. Store your turnip greens in the refrigerator without the root attached and try to use them within four days.
