Turnip Tops in Apulia

Turnip tops are somewhat the "parsley" of Apulian cuisine. We may have exaggerated with this statement, but it's true; turnip tops are much loved and widespread in Apulia. These Apulian turnip tops are nothing but the inflorescences of the turnip plant (before full flowering) washed, quickly blanched, and then preserved in Apulian oil. Wild turnip tops add an intense and authentic flavor to dishes.

Information on Turnip Tops

Zero preservatives and excellent Apulian turnip tops for a product that everyone truly enjoys. As mentioned, turnip tops are the inflorescences of the turnip. The inflorescences usually turn yellow when flowering is complete. In Apulia, the tops are harvested before they turn yellow, while they are still green. We harvest them one by one while still green, quickly blanch them, and jar them in the best Apulian oil. Try them creatively in the kitchen or enjoy them as they are in a sandwich, next to a meat or fish main course, or on pizza!

Friarielli vs Turnip Tops

What is the difference between friarielli and turnip tops? Although often confused, friarielli and turnip tops are slightly different. Friarielli are the inflorescences of broccoli plants, commonly used in Neapolitan cuisine, while turnip tops are specific to the turnip plant and more typical of Apulia. Both have a distinctive taste and are used in different regional culinary traditions.
