I was just thinking the other week how I hadn’t had turnips in awhile and that I should pick some up at the Farmer’s Market. Luckily for me, my CSA box had turnips this week. The first thing that comes to mind when I see turnips is Turnip Fries, but I wanted to make something a little different. Since my CSA also featured cauliflower, I figured I might as well spice up my usual Cauliflower Mash. Since I’ve been working on improving my slow metabolism and hormone issues through diet, I’ve become very interested in the nutritional info of all the different veggies….not just the carb count.
Health Benefits of Turnips:
- Excellent source of Vitamin C (great for adrenal healing), potassium, folic acid, magnesium, and Vitamins B6 and E.
- Contains phytochemicals with anticancer properties
- Promotes Bone Healthy with calcium (See Why Calcium isn’t the only factor in bone health)
