The turnip, also known as rettich or daikon, is a versatile and nutritious vegetable, cultivated in Lazio and prized for its fresh and slightly peppery flavor. Available from September to June, it is the ideal ingredient to add a crunchy and original touch to salads, soups, and stir-fried dishes.

The varieties—white, red, and round—offer different textures and flavor nuances, making them suitable for a wide range of preparations. Turnips are loved for their ability to enhance dishes with a bold flavor and juicy texture. Perfect for those seeking freshness and simplicity in Mediterranean cuisine.
