Mashed Turnips and Sweets

Beets: Select small or medium beets; large ones tend to be pithy, tough and less sweet. Trim the beet greens, leaving an inch or two of stem. Do not cut the long root. Store unwashed beets in an open container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Turnips and Rutabagas: Choose vegetables that are smooth-skinned and heavy for their size. Sometimes rutagagas and turnips are covered with a wax coating to extend storage; cut off this coating before cooking. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
