Hi, Now don't all laugh at once. I was at the local veg/fruit stand and they had turnip roots for sale. Now what is a turnip, if it isn't the root? I realize there is a tiny root that extends out of the bottom. It is just that I had never seen them called turnip roots before. I guess next they will have carrot roots. LOL Pat

Pat, I guess the turnips were the "root"as opposed to the turnip"greens",or tops.The greens are most likely more popular than the roots in your neck-of-the-woods ,anyway.I love both ...guess it is 'cause I am from the south...Jersey that is.[Although Jack Allen would dispute that wouldn't you Jack?
