If it's too cold, it won't. But yes, you want just the tops to freeze, which forces the sugar down into the rest of the plant.
Do cold winters really make turnips sweeter?
yes. it turns the starch to sugar.
Reply:I would say no since during a cold winter means an early start in the growing season and maybe blunt the full maturity of the turnip and end up with less sweet turnip greens.
However if a turnip is near total maturity and it gets a touch of cold weather that may activate enzymes that may appear to the taste buds as sweeter.
Reply:some plants need cold to grow well
Reply:No, but sugar does! I like to put hickory bacon in mine and it helps to give them better taste.
