Young, small turnips (about the size of a tennis ball) are mild and slightly sweet. Large, old turnips can be bitter and woody. If you have a choice, go smaller. Turnip fries are one of the best low-carb french fry alternatives because they crisp well and have a natural earthiness that pairs with bold seasonings.
