Ask a Nutritionist
What are turnips and what are their health benefits?
Turnips are root vegetables like potatoes and radishes. They are rich in vitamin C, which is important for our immune health and wound healing ability. You can store the turnips in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. Ways to incorporate turnips in your meals include pickling, roasting, sauteing, and eating raw with salad mix.
Check out two recipes below for the ReFresh online cooking class (don’t forget to sign up via the previous section):
