WHITE TURNIP

A root with crispy flesh and a sweetish flavour with a spicy aftertaste, the white turnip was a popular nutritious food in the past, before the introduction of the potato. 

Perfect for adding flavour to a simple vegetable soup or making a delicate velouté, the white turnip is also delicious au gratin, baked, pot-fried or as an ingredient in an unusual purée. 

Since more than 90% is water, the white turnip is known for its diuretic, detoxifying and digestive effects. Light and low in fat, it also contains a good amount of fibre, vitamin C, strengthening the immune system, vitamin K, with anti-inflammatory properties, and minerals such as calcium and potassium.
