Turnip is a root vegetable. These figures describe the raw flesh with the peel thinly removed. It is mainly water and provides a small amount of carbohydrate, with little fat or protein. Per 100g, it contains 4.7g of carbohydrate, 0.3g of fat, 17mg of vitamin C and 280mg of potassium.
Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Potassium contributes to normal nerve and muscle function. The sugars in plain raw turnip occur naturally rather than being added. Its salt content is low, although adding salt during preparation will change this. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
