Turnips - Allergy Free CookBook

Updated: Sep 24

Turnips have a slightly strange spicy taste. A special texture and taste is added to meals that include turnips and turnip greens. They can be used in place of potatoes in casseroles, soups, or prepared as mashed turnips. Turnips can be fried with onions and potatoes. They can be sliced or diced with or without skins and frozen, as long as they are washed well. Turnips may be sliced and eaten raw. This is the most likely way to get an upset stomach. Once, turnips were commonly grown and eaten. They are easy to grow in a tiny garden plot or a large container.
