Pickled with patience
Homemade turşu
- Vegetarian
- Vegan
Six kinds of freshly pickled turşu, made by hand in small batches and shipped across the Netherlands and to Belgium, Germany and France.
Turşu, often spelled tursu, is the age-old way to keep vegetables through the seasons: crisp vegetables pickled in a fresh, sour brine. We make ours ourselves, in small quantities, and give the fermentation the time it needs. Not a factory jar off the shelf, but real homemade turşu.
What's in it
We make six jars. The Her Table mix, our karışık turşu, with cucumber, cauliflower, white cabbage and carrot, the Lahana mix with cabbage, cauliflower and carrot, the Lahana turşusu with white cabbage and carrot only, the Karnabahar turşusu with cauliflower and carrot only, the Pancar mix that turns deep pink from the beetroot, and the Mor lahana mix with red and white cabbage. Every jar also gets parsley, garlic and hot peppers. All of them crisp, sour and seasoned the way it is done at home.
Patiently fermented
Turşu takes time. In season (May to September) expect at least 10 days, outside it around 20. That's what gives it its full, fresh flavour and keeps it well for a long time.
Shipped to the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and France
Turşu keeps well and travels well. We ship it across the Netherlands for €9.95 per parcel, to Belgium for €14.95 per parcel, to Germany for €17.95 per parcel and to France for €18.95 per parcel. Two 3-kilo jars fit in one parcel, and so do a 3-kilo and a 5-kilo jar, so they travel for a single shipping fee. Even if you're nowhere near Breda, you can set a jar of fresh turşu on your table.
Turşu, in short
Turşu is the Turkish name for vegetables pickled in a brine of water, salt and vinegar, then left to ferment slowly. The result is crisp, fresh and pleasantly sour. In Turkey turşu belongs with almost every meal: a small side dish that balances rich and spicy food.
Because turşu is naturally nothing more than vegetables and brine, every jar is vegetarian and vegan. Which vegetable goes in decides the flavour: cucumber alone is the most classic, beetroot makes it sweeter and deeper in colour, and cabbage with cauliflower gives the firmest bite.
How to serve and store turşu
Serve turşu cold, straight from the jar: as a side with rice dishes and grilled vegetables, next to çiğköfte, or as a fresh bite on a sharing board. Finely chopped through a salad or kısır it is delicious too.
Unopened, turşu keeps for a long time in a cool, dark place. Once opened, store the jar in the fridge and keep the vegetables under the brine; that keeps your turşu crisp for weeks.

Niet alleen de kleur, maar de smaak was top! Lekker pittig en de rode bieten eet je niet lekkerder dan in de tursu.
