What it means for your health

The fiber may help digestion and keep you feeling full. Vitamin C is linked to immune function and skin health. Vitamin A supports vision and immune health. Folate is important for cell growth and may support heart health. Calcium and magnesium contribute to bone strength. Potassium helps maintain normal blood pressure.

Good to know

A typical serving is about one cup chopped, which weighs roughly 55 grams. Cooking can reduce some vitamins, especially vitamin C. Pairing turnip greens with a source of fat can improve absorption of vitamin A. Wash the leaves well before eating. This is general education, not medical advice.
