Naturafresh Turnip Juice is a bottled Turkish şalgam-style fermented drink, not simply juice squeezed from turnips. Traditional şalgam is made with purple-black carrots and turnip, fermented in brine; recipes may also use bulgur flour or sourdough.
Naturafresh Turnip Juice is fermented, but fermentation alone does not prove that the bottled drink still contains live probiotic cultures. Processing after fermentation can reduce them, so it should not be relied on as a probiotic supplement.
Naturafresh Turnip Juice is not made or sold as an alcoholic drink. Fermentation can produce trace amounts of alcohol, but that does not make şalgam a spirit or an alcoholic beverage.
Naturafresh Turnip Juice has the characteristic sharp, sour and salty taste of Turkish şalgam. Its flavor comes from fermentation, and the drink may also have a noticeable earthy note from the purple-black carrots.
Naturafresh Turnip Juice may be sold in spicy or mild versions. The spicy version gets its heat from added pepper; the mild one is still tangy and salty, but without the same chili kick.
Naturafresh Turnip Juice is commonly served chilled alongside kebabs and other grilled or meat dishes. Its salty, sour flavor is a familiar pairing at Turkish kebab meals, especially for people who enjoy sharp-tasting drinks.
Naturafresh Turnip Juice can be high in salt because it is fermented in brine. People limiting sodium, including those managing high blood pressure, should keep portions modest and ask a healthcare professional for individualized advice.
No. Naturafresh Turnip Juice is a fermented Turkish şalgam drink traditionally made mainly with purple-black carrots and turnip, while beet juice is pressed from beets. Their ingredients, preparation and flavors are different.
Keep Naturafresh Turnip Juice refrigerated after opening and close the container between servings. Follow the storage directions and use-by guidance on its packaging, and discard it if its smell, appearance or taste changes noticeably.
Yes, but there is no particular benefit to drinking Naturafresh Turnip Juice on an empty stomach. Its sour, salty taste may bother some people’s stomachs, so have it with food or avoid it if it causes discomfort.

Naturafresh Turnip Juice is a bottled version of Turkish şalgam, a tangy fermented drink associated especially with southern Turkey. Despite the English label, it is not simply the juice of a turnip: traditional şalgam is commonly made by fermenting dark carrots and turnips in a brine, though recipes and heat levels vary.
It tastes sharply sour and savoury, with a salty edge, and is usually served cold alongside kebabs, grilled meats or a dürüm. In Turkey, you can find mild and spicy versions; it also makes a distinctive non-alcoholic option with a mezze-style meal. It is low in energy, at 8 kcal per 100 g, but can be salty. If you are watching your salt intake, keep the portion modest and pair it with fresh vegetables.
