What is a Scarlet Turnip?

These Turnips have magenta or red colored skin. The outer part of the turnip tastes a bit like a red radish while the inside is sweet like an early turnip.

Eat the turnip raw in a salad or crudités, or cook them like you would a young turnip. You can also bake them like a potato and use your favorite baked potato topping. Or for a special treat, thinly slice them, season with salt and pepper and sauté in butter until they start to browns and get crispy.

They should be put in a brown bag and stored in the refrigerator.
