Bloom Shoots of Taylor Turnip Tops - 5lb

Bloom shoots from the famed Taylor Turnip Tops. Very tender. Beautiful yellow flowers. Fresh out of the field they hit you with a very noticeable cherry, berry, or red licorice flavor when consumed raw. After a day or more removed from harvest the cherry takes a back seat on the palate and might come through subtly at the back end. Still maintains a quiet brassica quality flavor wise. The stems are succulent and watery. 

We have them for usually only 2 weeks every season, 3 weeks tops. 

So I encourage you to take advantage of this wonderful seasonal special that nature has offered us. 

The little yellow flowers make an excellent bright and inviting plate presentation to signify that spring is coming. 

The shoots with the “turnip-ini” can be used like rapini, or broccolini, or grilled asparagus. You can get a nice char on them, plate with a light sauce and serve. 

If you’re bold enough, serve them raw and share a story with the guest of the Taylor family’s turnip tops (story available on the Taylor Turnip Top product page) 

Experience the freshness from the field and the unique qualities of this heirloom product which survived for hundreds of years to make it on the plate. 

This is an opportunity to celebrate seasonal cooking and it shows on the smiles of all those who get to experience such a rare, delicious spring treat.
