The Violet Queen Turnip is a vibrant and tender root vegetable, radiating with a regal purple-hued top that transitions into a smooth, snowy white base. Each turnip is a bulbous harmony of color and texture, with firm flesh that cooks down to a soft, almost buttery consistency. The flavor profile is sweet with earthy undertones, elevating simple roots to an experience of mild, cruciferous delight. Ideal for roasting, these turnips caramelize beautifully, enhancing their innate sweetness. They also add a pop of color and nutrition to mashed potatoes, stews, and purees. Violet Queen Turnips can be enjoyed raw as well, adding crispness and flair to salads and slaws. With their high vitamin C content and array of nutrients, they are as healthful as they are delicious.
