The young turnip greens can also be cooked or added to salads.

Vitamins & Minerals

Turnips are naturally low in calories and provide vitamin C, vitamin K, folate and potassium. They also contain dietary fibre and naturally occurring plant compounds.

Storage

Keep turnips refrigerated in the crisper section. If supplied with greens, remove the greens before storage to help maintain the freshness and firmness of the roots. Store in a breathable bag or container and use promptly.
