About Turnip greens
Turnip greens are nutrient-rich leafy vegetables derived from the tops of turnip roots, a staple in Southern cuisine and various global dishes. Packed with vitamins A, C, and K, they contribute to immune support, bone health, and skin vitality. They're also an excellent source of calcium, manganese, and folate, vital for metabolic functions and cell repair. Turnip greens are high in antioxidants, including beta-carotene and lutein, which promote eye health and combat oxidative stress. With their rich fiber content, they support digestion and help maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Often cooked down in broths or alongside smoked meats for added flavor, their slightly bitter and peppery taste complements hearty dishes. While generally healthy, their natural sodium levels should be considered by individuals watching salt intake. Low in calories yet high in nutrients, turnip greens are a versatile and robust addition to a balanced diet.
