hakurai turnip - Discover U-Pick farms in the Netherlands

Picking hakurai turnip is a delight—fresh air, muddy boots, and the satisfaction of plucking your own crisp, earthy treasures. Whether solo or with loved ones, it’s a chance to slow down, laugh over misshapen roots, and fill baskets with vibrant greens and pearly bulbs. Back home, rinse off the dirt and get creative:

Roasted hakurai turnip: Toss chunks with olive oil, honey, and thyme, then roast until caramelized.
Hakurai turnip slaw: Shred with carrots, apples, and a tangy mustard dressing for crunch.
Herbal tea: Steep the greens with mint and lemon for a soothing sip.
Cocktail twist: Muddle a few slices with gin, elderflower liqueur, and soda for a garden-fresh spritz.

For decor, bundle the greens in a rustic vase or tuck the roots into a centerpiece for a touch of farm charm. However you use them, hakurai turnips bring a little dirt-under-your-nails joy to the table.
