Hakurei turnip is a type of Japanese turnip celebrated for its tender texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor. It is often enjoyed raw in salads or lightly cooked in stir-fries and soups. Known for being quick to mature, Hakurei turnips are typically small, with smooth, white skin and a crisp interior. Both the roots and the leafy greens are edible, making them an excellent choice for diverse culinary applications.
