Turnip Greens, Friarelli Napoletana, 1kg

Friarelli Turnip Greens 1kg are 1kg of Friarelli Napoletana – the beloved Neapolitan turnip greens that are one of the great vegetables of southern Italian cooking. Friarelli are the leaves and small flowering tops of the turnip plant. As a result, they have a distinctive, pleasantly bitter flavour with a slightly peppery edge. Furthermore, they are the essential accompaniment to Neapolitan sausages and a key ingredient in many pasta dishes from Campania. In particular, their bitterness mellows beautifully with garlic, chilli and olive oil.

About Friarelli Turnip Greens 1kg

We source our vegetables and seasonal produce from specialist growers across Britain and Europe. In particular, we select every variety for its flavour, condition and provenance. As a result, the produce we deliver meets a standard well above what most supermarkets carry. Furthermore, we prioritise seasonal and heritage varieties over commodity produce. These varieties exist because growers selected them for taste, not yield or shelf life. However, they require more care and attention to grow. In particular, heritage and specialty vegetables often have shorter seasons and more demanding growing conditions. Additionally, we work with growers who share our commitment to quality. A short supply chain from grower to your door makes all the difference to freshness. That is why Friarelli Turnip Greens 1kg from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Friarelli Turnip Greens 1kg From Us

Cooking with genuinely seasonal and specialty produce transforms everyday dishes. In contrast to commodity vegetables, these varieties carry a depth of flavour that rewards simple treatment. As a result, the best preparation is often the simplest. Furthermore, freshness is everything with vegetables. We deliver direct from our suppliers so you cook with produce at its peak. However, even the finest vegetables need a little attention in the kitchen. In particular, most benefit from minimal cooking rather than long boiling. Moreover, good olive oil, sea salt and a little acidity — lemon juice or a splash of vinegar — bring out the best in almost everything. Additionally, the variety and provenance of what you cook matters. That is why we choose these ingredients so carefully.
