Fresh Purple Top Turnips (shalgham) are a crisp, earthy root vegetable with a mildly sweet and pleasantly peppery flavour — a beloved and deeply traditional ingredient in Persian cooking and culture. Shalgham is a staple of the Iranian kitchen, used in hearty soups and stews, pickled as torshi (Persian pickled turnips), and enjoyed as a wholesome, nutritious everyday vegetable. The striking purple-topped, white-fleshed turnip is one of the most recognisable and culturally familiar vegetables for Persian households. Each 1–1.5lb pack contains approximately 3–5 turnips.
Use in ash-e shalgham (Persian turnip soup) for a hearty, warming winter dish, pickle as torshi-e shalgham (Persian pickled turnips) — a classic Iranian condiment and table staple, roast in the oven with olive oil and spices for a caramelised, naturally sweet side dish, mash with butter as a comforting, lower-carb alternative to mashed potato, add to soups, stews, and khoresh for a hearty, earthy depth, or cube and add to Persian rice dishes for a wholesome, nutritious element. A versatile everyday kitchen essential.
