Turnip Cubes 400 G

The **turnip** (*Brassica rapa subsp. rapa*) is a **root vegetable** belonging to the mustard family (*Brassicaceae*), related to cabbage and rutabaga. It is characterized by a **bulbous, fleshy taproot** that is typically **white on the lower part** and **purple, red, or greenish on the top** where it's exposed to sunlight. The interior flesh is white. Both the **root and the leafy greens ("turnip greens") are edible**. Turnips have a slightly **peppery or bitter flavor** when raw, which mellows to a mildly sweet taste when cooked. They are often used in soups, stews, mashed, or roasted. Turnip greens are often cooked like spinach. They are a good source of Vitamin C, and the greens are particularly rich in Vitamins A and K.
