Turnip Greens (also known as ‘Rapa Senza Testa’)

Turnip Greens are a really good green from central Europe. A quick alternative to Chard or Kale, ready about 4 weeks from sowing,with mild green leaves that have a wonderfully buttery flavour when cooked, and are also nice and mild if used raw in salads. 

Unlike chard it doesn’t take up space for months on end, so you can just throw in a quick row here & there as a catch crop. If grown overwinter the flower shoots in spring are delicious like sprouting broccoli.

Great quick green – give it a go, we think you’ll like it! Not ‘turnip-flavoured’ – just a wonderful green on its own.
