Şalgam (Turnip Juice)

Şalgam (Turnip Juice)

Tufan Organik Şalgam, from the Sour, Spicy and Sweet Specialty Sauces, Vinegars and Beverages range, is a natural food with roots in Gürün/Sivas.

Şalgam: The Tangy Companion of Kebab Tables

Şalgam is a traditional beverage known for its deep purple color and its sour, slightly salty taste. It is especially drunk alongside rich and spicy dishes such as kebab, lahmacun and wraps; it leaves a sharp freshness that balances the heaviness in the mouth. Its flavor comes out best when served cold.

Tufan Organik offers şalgam for those who want to round off their grill evenings and homemade kebabs. It can be enjoyed with a slice of lemon or a few pieces of pickled carrot added to the glass. If the taste is found too intense, it can be diluted a little with cold water. At some tables, it is preferred not with the meal but after it, for refreshment.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve in glasses with ice alongside Adana kebab, lahmacun or spicy bulgur kofte.
  • Serve it the classic way by adding a few slices of pickled carrot to the glass.
  • Add a few spoonfuls of şalgam to the marinade for grilled meat and vegetables to give them color and tang.
