Turnip

Turnips are mildly spicy when raw. When cooked the flavour changes to a sweet, nutty, and earthy.

Though they are most commonly cooked, turnips can be enjoyed raw as well. If you plan to eat them raw, simply peel and slice the turnip like an apple to eat with dips or add to the top of your salad. Be sure to slice off the root end and remove the greens – which can be saved for cooking as well.

Turnips can be used much in the same ways one would use potatoes, Baked, Boiled or Steamed. When finely sliced, they go well in a salad, wraps or stir-fry. They contain fewer calories than a potato.
