Post-Holiday Cleanse
Turnips are the quintessential winter vegetable, perfect to cleanse the system after the holidays. Bitter taste is naturally cleansing, guiding toxicity and heaviness down and out of your body.

Winter Immune Boost
Worried about catching a winter bug? Chances are you taxed your body through the holidays with abundant heavy sweets and rich dishes. Although it's important to fully participate in family celebrations, they may leave your immune system under par in the challenging cold season. Mashed Sweet Turnips and Ghee are a healthy and healing choice for this very concern- they are light to digest so that your body gets to work less, not more. The less energy your body spends on digestion, the more it has available for cleansing and fighting off bugs. And, they are high in vitamin C, the vitamin of immunity. High levels of calcium, magnesium, and potassium are a bonus!
Cooked Turnips, Please
Have you ever noticed that turnips are rarely eaten raw? This root vegetable from the brassica family contains chemicals that can block thyroid function called goitrogens. These chemicals, however are easily inactivated by steaming or cooking, rendering turnips a healthful choice. This is long understood knowledge, as turnips have been cultivated as a staple food by ancient Greeks and Romans.
