Turnips, also known as white turnips or May turnips, are considered one of the "forgotten vegetables" in the Netherlands. This is unfortunate, as they are healthy, easy to grow and highly productive. Turnips require a nutrient-rich soil and benefit from regular fertilisation. They tolerate cool weather well but are not resistant to severe frost. Turnips can be boiled, steamed or braised and are delicious in soups, stews and oven dishes. They can also be mashed into a tasty purée, either on their own or combined with carrots or potatoes.
