Autumn is such a perfect time for root vegetable. You should add as many roots to your diet as possible.
Root vegetable are high in complex carbohydrates and fiber. They are also very rich in minerals and other nutrients that they absorb from the soil they grown in. Remember to buy organic root veggies since they also absorb heavy metals and other chemicals.
Turnips are members of the cruciferous family. They are rich in cancer fighting phytochemicals. These nutrients help protect the body from cancer causing substances and detoxify carcinogens already present.
Turnips are rich in vitamin C, B vitamins, calcium, copper, manganese, silica and iron.
A plate full of turnips is probably the simplest way to enjoy this rather delicate vegetable. Quick and easy, and most importantly, low tech recipe that can be executed in any kitchen within minutes.

Ingredients:
- 2 medium large turnips

Method:
