Turnip, boiled in unsalted water

Turnip is a root vegetable. The figures here describe turnip that has been thinly peeled, diced and boiled in unsalted water. It consists mainly of water and provides a small amount of carbohydrate, along with vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 2g of carbohydrate, 10mg of vitamin C, 200mg of potassium and 0.07g of salt.

Vitamin C supports normal skin and connective tissue and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Potassium contributes to normal nerve and muscle function. The salt content is low when prepared without added salt; adding salt, stock or sauces can increase it. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.
