White turnip salad is very easy to prepare, and with a drizzle of orange juice, it can enchant the taste buds. It works perfectly as a side dish for traditional meat dishes as well as vegetarian meals. It pairs wonderfully in colourful bowls, for example, with rice and fried chicken. To make the bowl even more diverse, add rocket, orange segments, and sunflower seeds.
White turnip – a wealth of vitamins
Often underrated, white turnip is a valuable source of nutrients. It contains a significant amount of vitamin C, which supports the immune system and maintains healthy skin. It also includes B vitamins and minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and calcium. Regular consumption of turnip supports heart and muscle function, and the fibre it contains improves digestion and provides a feeling of fullness.
