About Turnip

Turnips are nutrient-rich root vegetables belonging to the Brassicaceae family, closely related to cabbage and broccoli. Native to Asia and Europe, they are widely used in various cuisines, from hearty European stews to Asian stir-fries. Turnips are low in calories and packed with essential nutrients, including vitamin C, potassium, and fiber, making them excellent for supporting immune health, heart function, and digestion. They also contain antioxidants that help combat inflammation and support overall health. Turnip greens, the leafy tops, are equally nutritious, offering high levels of vitamin K, calcium, and beta-carotene. While turnips are versatile and healthy, those monitoring their carbohydrate intake should note that they contain natural sugars. Whether roasted, mashed, or added to soups, turnips are a flavorful and nutritious addition to balanced diets.
