Turnip is a mild-flavored root vegetable from the Brassica family, related to cabbage, broccoli, and radish. Its round, creamy-white root has a crisp texture and a slightly peppery, earthy taste that softens and sweetens with cooking. Turnips can be eaten raw in salads, roasted, mashed, or simmered in soups and stews, and their leafy greens are also edible.
Nutritionally, turnips are low in calories and fat while providing dietary fiber, vitamin C, and small amounts of minerals such as potassium and calcium. Because they add bulk and flavor for relatively few calories, they are a useful vegetable in balanced and calorie-conscious meals.
