Turnips were among the first vegetable grown.
They were thought to be grown as far back as 2000 BC. The turnip was an
important crop for the Romans. At one time the 1730 Charles Townshend raised turnips to feed his cattle in
Britain.
The turnip can be found in most grocery stores
and is a good source of vitamin C, phosphorus vitamin B6, calcium,
manganese, potassium. Turnips are a excellent vegetable to use in soups,
stews and casseroles. Listed below are tried and tested recipes from
my kitchen using
