Turnip
The upper part of the turnip is purple or violet in colour, the rest is ivory white. In addition, the plant produces green leaves that are edible and can be eaten as well.
Turnips are low in calories and are a good source of fibre.
It has a relatively short growing cycle, which makes it much more productive. They can be eaten raw or cooked. The leaves can be prepared in a similar way as spinach.
Be sure to remove any leftover leaves and store them in a cool, dark place, preferably in the refrigerator. Wrap the ends of the roots in kitchen paper to prevent moisture loss.
Did you know that turnips have been cultivated since ancient times and were an essential part of the diet of ancient civilisations such as the Greeks and Romans? Their hardiness and ease of cultivation made them a staple food in many cultures over the centuries.
