Turnip Greens

Turnip Greens

EverydayFresh

Turnip greens are the edible leafy tops of the turnip plant, offering a robust nutritional profile distinct from the vegetable’s bulbous root. These dark, slightly bitter greens are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, along with calcium and folate, while remaining low in calories. Typically cooked to soften their peppery bite, they’re prepared similarly to kale or collard greens through sautéing, braising, or adding to soups, though young leaves can be used raw in salads for a sharp flavor accent.
