About Turnips, raw
The turnip is a humble, hardy root vegetable with crisp white-and-purple flesh and a flavor that runs from mildly sweet when young to peppery and earthy when older. A staple of winter cooking, it's roasted, mashed, simmered into stews or eaten raw and crisp in salads.
It's low in calories and a decent source of vitamin C and fiber, with some potassium and the mustard-family compounds shared with cabbage and radish. The leafy turnip greens, often overlooked, are even more nutritious than the root — rich in vitamins A, K and C.
Cheap, filling and long-keeping, the turnip is classic comfort-food fare — a lighter, lower-carb alternative to potato when roasted or mashed.
