Most people know that the turnip root is edible but a great many individuals have no knowledge what-so-ever about the top leafy portion of the turnip plant so they wrongfully presume that it is indigestible. It often winds up in garbage cans or compost piles all across the country and we lose a very valuable source of nutrition.
A single one cup serving of turnip greens will contain a mere twenty-eight calories but will supply a multitude of vitamins and minerals within it.
Ranked in order of their prominence within the greens are the nutrients Vitamin K, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Folate, Manganese, Calcium, Copper, Vitamin B6, Vitamin E, Tryptrophan, Potassium, Magnesium, Iron, Vitamin B2, Phosphorus, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B5, Omega-3 fatty acids, Protein and Vitamin B3.
