Purple Top Turnips

Purple Top Turnips

EverydayFresh

Purple top turnips are a dual-purpose root vegetable recognized by their signature two-tone appearance: purple-tinged shoulders blending into a creamy white base. These turnips provide a low-calorie source of dietary fiber and vitamin C, while containing glucosinolates—compounds studied for their antioxidant properties. When cooked, their mildly peppery flavor mellows into earthy sweetness, making them ideal for roasting, mashing, or adding to stews, though they remain less sugary than parsnips or carrots. Both the roots and nutrient-dense greens are edible.
