Turnip

Turnip is the root of the plant of the same name and belongs to the Cruciferae family. It is often cylinder-shaped and its skin is white with purple accents, although the inside is always white.

We can eat both the root and leaves of this vegetable. The leaves can be eaten raw, in salad, cooked with potatoes or in Spanish omelette. The root can be consumed grated in salads, cooked with rice or pulses, or even added to soups since it provides an extra dose of minerals.
