White turnip salad is very easy to prepare, and with a drizzle of orange juice, it can tantalize the taste buds. It works perfectly as a side dish for traditional meat dishes and vegetarian meals alike. It pairs wonderfully in colourful bowls, for instance, with rice and fried chicken. To make the bowl even more diverse, add arugula, orange pieces, and sunflower seeds.

white turnip – a wealth of vitamins

Often underrated, white turnip is a valuable source of nutrients. It is rich in vitamin C, which supports the immune system and maintains healthy skin. It also contains B vitamins and minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and calcium. Regular consumption of turnip supports heart and muscle function, and the fibre it contains aids digestion and provides a feeling of fullness.
