Turnip
Turnips reach their peak between October and February, providing a sharp, peppery depth to winter dishes. While the mature winter roots are perfect for mashing or roasting, the delicate spring baby turnips offer a surprising sweetness. They are a low-calorie source of vitamin C, fiber, and heart-healthy potassium.
