Attributes and nutritional properties
The turnip is a vegetable that, like the rest, provides little energy, since its main component, more than 90%, is water and provides only about 5% of carbohydrates. It is rich in fibre and, therefore, regulates intestinal transit. Although its content is not the highest, it also provides a wide variety of vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C and folic acid, or potassium and phosphorus. These nutrients are completely necessary for good growth and physical and mental development.
