Turnip Greens, Canned and Drained

EverydayCannedDrained

Turnip greens are the edible leafy tops of turnip plants, preserved through canning and drained of their packing liquid. While the canning process softens their texture, these greens retain significant calcium, vitamin K, and fiber, though they typically contain added sodium that can be reduced by rinsing. A staple in Southern U.S. cuisine, canned turnip greens offer a convenient, shelf-stable alternative to fresh greens, with a tender texture and mildly bitter, earthy flavor suited to slow-cooked dishes.
