This is the classic old turnip variety grown all over the southeast since the mid 1800s. In the south these are harvested from late fall through late winter and sometimes into early spring. Cold weather intensifies their flavor, sweetness and crispness! It is a delicate balance though, because if it gets too cold they can be wiped out. Fortunately this cold snap that we are going through currently appears to have been not cold enough to damage Ricky’s turnip crop, but rather enhance their sugariness and flavor. These are shaping up to be the BEST turnip crop South Carolina can produce. Don’t miss out on this peak crop and humble southern cold weather staple. These come without tops.
