Turnips

Turnips

EverydayFresh

Turnips are a cool-season root vegetable belonging to the Brassica family, closely related to cabbage and radishes. Both the bulbous white-and-purple root and leafy greens are edible, offering distinct nutritional profiles – the root provides low-calorie complex carbohydrates and vitamin C, while the greens deliver fiber and cancer-fighting glucosinolates. When cooked, the root develops a mildly sweet, slightly peppery flavor that softens to a potato-like texture, contrasting with the greens' hearty, mustard-like bite.
