Nutritional values

This light starter is full of vitamins and fiber. Besides plenty of vitamin B and vitamin C, the turnips also contain glucosinolates which not only produce an intense taste, but also have a positive effect on the immune system.

The tender May turnips are among the first domestic vegetables of the year - they taste spicier than carrots and softer than radishes. If you cannot find May turnips, try the closely related autumn turnips or Teltow turnips as an alternative.
