Turnips are a "starch" vegetable, but provide only one third the amount of calories as an equal amount of potatoes. Turnips provide an excellent source of vitamin C, fiber, folic acid, and manganese. They also offer a very good source of thiamine, potassium, niacin, and magnesium. In addition, they are a good source of vitamin B6 and E, folic acid, and riboflavin.
We just received turnips in our farm share and they were delicious. The turnips we received are much smaller than what you typically find at the grocery store. They are a sweet, creamy, crisp, mild Japanese variety called Hakurie. If you are able to find these, or other small/baby turnips, I recommend giving them a try.
