Greens
Turnip leaves are sometimes eaten as turnip greens, and they resemble mustard
greens in flavor. Turnip
greens are a common side dish in southeastern US cooking, primarily during late
fall and winter. Smaller leaves are preferred; however, any bitter taste of
larger leaves can be reduced by pouring off the water from initial boiling and
replacing it with fresh water. Turnip greens also provide tons of calcium for
bone health as well as fiber, vitamins A, K, and C, and folate. By eating this
delicious vegetable, you can decrease your risk of developing cancer,
inflammatory conditions, and infections. Encounter greens on December 17th,
it is sort of like a hot salad to warm you up in the winter.
