Turnips are a "starch" vegetable, but provide only one third the amount of calories as
an equal amount of potatoes.   Turnips provide an excellent source of vitamin C, fiber,
folic acid, manganese, pantothenic acid, and copper.  They also offer a very good
source of thiamine, potassium, niacin, and magnesium.  In addition, they are a good
source of vitamin B6 and E, folic acid, and riboflavin.  

Turnip greens are more nutrition dense than the root.  The greens provide an
excellent source of vitamins A, B6, C, E, folic acid, calcium, copper, fiber, and
manganese.
