Turnip Nutrition

Turnip 

A turnip is a white-skinned root vegetable that is popular for both, human consumption and livestock feed. Scientifically known as Brassica rapa, turnips are commonly grown in temperate areas across the globe and are cultivated for their nutritional value and taste of the root.

Turnip greens are consumed in some parts of the world as a cruciferous vegetable and there is a slight difference between the nutrient profile of the leaves and roots. These leaves, are often bitter and must be boiled down to be palatable, much like mustard greens.
