Hakurei turnips are a Japanese salad turnip variety prized for their pure white skin, crisp texture, and remarkably mild, sweet flavor — nothing like the pungent storage turnips of winter. Enjoy them raw in salads or as crudités, sliced thin and quick-pickled, or sautéed whole with butter and fresh herbs until just tender. The greens are equally delicious and can be cooked just like other leafy greens. Hakurei turnips are a good source of vitamin C, folate, and calcium, and their low calorie content makes them an ideal nutrient-rich addition to any diet.
