Turnip Juice |
|
Turnip Juice is a popular beverage of southern Turkey, originating from Adana. Although its Turkish name Salgam suyu (or shortened, salgam) does literally mean "turnip juice", it is, in fact, the juice of purple carrot pickles, heavily salted, spiced and flavoured with aromatic turnip (çelem) and fermented in barrels.
It is traditionally served cold in large glasses with long slices of
pickled carrots, called dene. Hot paprika relish is added just before
drinking. Hot or regular, it's a popular drink with Adana Kebab. |
