Turnip
Enjoy Turnip
Turnips are high in calcium. Much higher than other leafy greens. High calcium content is not the only reason for the noticeable bitterness of turnip greens. The bitterness can be diminished with a squeeze of lemon. For total glucosinolate content, turnip greens outscore cabbage, kale, cauliflower, and broccoli among the most commonly eaten cruciferous vegetables. Glucosinolate is loaded with health benefits. glucosinolates in turnip greens are phytonutrients that can be converted into isothiocyanates (ITCs) with cancer-preventing properties. Turnip greens are very high in this regard. Peel thickly, soak in lemon juice water before steaming to diminish bitterness.
