hunting buddy brought some out to camp last year, they were all white not the purple top kind. some were as big as grapefruits and not hot and pithy as the purple ones get, almost like you put sugar on them they were sweet. I think if I remember right he called them white queens, anyone else ever tried one????

The Missouri Department of Conservation plants Turnips near some of the water ways here in Ozark County as Deer Food Plots. A few years ago I was down by the Bryant Creek which flows into Bull Shoals lake and dug a fresh white and red one right out of the ground. I took a bite out of it - it was good!
Turnips, parsnips, rutabagas, kohlrabi, rhubarb, and celeriac are very rarely planted or seen any more.
I use either rutabagas or turnips in my Cornish Pasty's. A meat pie that is popular in Michigan's UP.
Kohlrabi is great raw, sliced into chips and dipped in your favorite sour cream dip!
They're all good; just out of favor here in the "meat and potatoes" US of A.
The two things that don't like me are asparagus and cilantro. Have both of those enzymes. Otherwise, I love vegetables. I couldn't live as a vegetable-tarian, but I'm very happy to be an omnivore.
Uh, what are the barking kind?
I'm still trying to figure out what a Tunip is🤔
thats a turnip with the pirate taken out............
I plant turnips and collards every fall.Its good to see something growing in the winter.Its almost time to plant and I am going to try to find some white queen turnip seed.
they were called white Lady, I got the name wrong. no one here local carries them as the price of them has gone sky high. I saw one place online asking $3.49 for 10- that is TEN seeds!!!!!! they are good but not that good. I did order a hybrid white turnip that is about the same, supposed to be sweet and about a 30 day germination and 45 day harvest. I hope they turn out as good, they were about ten bucks with shipping for average of 2000 seeds.......... I just never had any luck with the purple top turnips, they tended to get hot and pithy before they got tennis ball size, not really that good for eating
I Never liked them the texture I guess but it's been 50 yrs since iate one
My cliff claven moment .. lol
I read at some point iny life yrs ago
a long time ago That Turnips were the orginal carved jack o lantern or what ever you may call them they wete carved and hollowed out and llit with a candle long before pumpkins took over
Rutabaga recipe:
Pull some up before the leaves get tough. Cut the stems off the leaves. Cut the Rutabaga into chunks . Put into a pot with water and a chunk of fat back or salt pork, or ham hock. Add salt.
Boil until tender.
The greens are quite tasty.
I've never really felt the urge to eat a raw turnip. I don't turn down sliced, cooked turnips.
We plant them for deer plots and a couple people ask for a few of the early ones for table use but otherwise-just deer bait.
Local ag supply sells turnip seed by the pound and sells a LOT of it.
You're missing out...
Love kohlrabi, grow it every year in the garden. You can fry it, bake it. This year tried cutting them like French fries, toss them in olive oil salt and pepper, cook in air frier 8 minutes toss around cook another 8 minutes at 400 degrees. A good German food dish.
I think "tunips" is what you get from a small yapper dog. But I might be wrong.
I think I know just that dog...
