Turnip greens

Total hijack, but throw some nasturtium seeds into your next patch of dirt if you bulldog your way into having a pot or two after all. They sprout quickly and bloom prettily, and the leaves are edible too; they have a bite similar to the taste of black pepper, and are nice to add to a salad. Here in Texas, they’re a spring/fall annual, during that brief lovely time when it’s neither too hot nor too cold, but other than that they’re super-easy to grow.

I will attempt to redeem my hijack by promising to look out for unseasoned canned greens - I’m in DFW.

isn’t pretty much the entire plant edible? ISTR the flowers are sometimes used as a garnish.

and yeah, I’d call the flavor of the leaves to be “peppery apple-like.”

Bush’s (the baked bean people) sell plain turnip greens. You should be able to find the with the other canned greens at Kroger or H.E.B.

You can order online too.

Not thread-shitting (because, really, you guys can eat whatever you want without my input) but really wanted to note that I honestly had no idea that canned turnip greens were even a thing before this thread. You learn something every day!

We have Publix brand, Winn-Dixie brand, Bush’s and a few others. OK, this is Florida. I like the whole myself, but chopped is way more ubiquitous. There are many frozen and fresh varieties, but I think you said canned is what you want.

I have had GREAT success talking to my store manager about other products. Just tell the manager what you’ve searched for, and could not find. Look sad. Follow up by buying the product if it begins appearing on the shelf. Tell the manager ‘thanks.’
