Did you know...

• Turnips and swedes are both high in vitamin C and are also a good source of dietary fibre and potassium.

• The green tops can be cooked and eaten like spinach.

• Great in soups and casseroles, they can also be washed, peeled and grated into salads.

• To cook, boil in water, steam, roast or microwave. The small ones have a mild, sweet flavour and can be cooked whole without peeling.
