My thoughts:

I honey turnip greens! I was together with thence excited to come across pre-chopped turnip greens inwards the supermarket the other day. I prefer buying turnips amongst the greens attached merely it isn't quite turnip flavour hither soundless together with to last honest, cutting greens are together with thence much quicker when cooking on a weeknight together with gustation the same. I did lead maintain to purchase my turnips separately but pretty much whatever supermarket sells them. The garlic chives are surprisingly slow to notice equally good merely regular chives could last subbed in. If you lot tin go notice them though the garlic chives add together a subtle garlic flavor that pairs actually good amongst the turnip greens.

For closed to reason, I don't mean value turnips are really popular. It's a shame because they lead maintain such a fresh peppery flavor together with concur their variety inwards soups merely also are keen mashed. The greens lead maintain a peppery seize amongst teeth likewise together with you lot tin go railroad train them pretty much equally you lot would collards merely you lot don't lead maintain to accept the rib out earlier cooking them. They are milder than mustard greens likewise together with tin go last used inwards whatever recipe that calls for them.
