Turnips are high in vitamin C, and also provide most of the B vitamins, which help with fat, carbohydrate, and protein metabolism; nervous system function; and healthy skin, hair, eyes, and liver. Turnips are high in calcium and potassium, and they contain small amounts of iron, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, zinc, manganese and selenium. Turnips have about 1/4 of the calories of potatoes, and plenty of fiber.
