Turnip Greens
Common Packs:

24-count packs.

Receiving Inspecting:

Choose greens that are clean and fresh. Avoid wilted or discolored greens.

  • 32-36° F/0-2° C

10 to 14 days.
Troubleshooting:

Color loss can occur if greens are exposed to ethylene gas. Store away from ethylene-producing fruits and ripening rooms.

Wilting may result if greens are stored in an area with low humidity.

Water-soaked spots indicate freeze injury; store properly.

  • Add greens to broth-based soups just before serving for a burst of color and nutrients.
  • Sauté greens in pork fat; serve alongside soul foods such as green tomatoes, okra, and mashed sweet potatoes.
