The Teltow Turnip is a famous regional German turnip cultivar, originally from Poland and southern Finland. The spicy vegetable can be enjoyed raw, steamed, or cooked.

Its taste reminds of kohlrabi and radish. A classic preparation is the caramelizing of the halved turnips precooked in stock in melted butter. Goethe is said to have been a lover of the Teltow turnip.
