Health Benefits:
Purple top turnips are nutrient-packed and low in calories, making them a great addition to a healthy diet. They are rich in vitamin C, which supports immunity, and a good source of fiber, promoting digestive health. They also contain potassium for heart and muscle function and antioxidants that help combat inflammation.

These versatile root vegetables can be enjoyed raw, roasted, boiled, mashed, or pickled. Their mild, slightly peppery flavor pairs well with a variety of seasonings and dishes. Even the leafy tops are edible, offering additional nutrients and a slightly bitter, earthy flavor.
