Turnip

Now they say that our ancestors were much healthier and physically stronger than the current generation. But the diet of our ancestors was not so varied, and it is unlikely that they knew about the benefits of this or that product, and counted vitamins with calories. But everyone knows that our ancestors ate vegetables, and there are countless fairy tales and sayings about turnips.

Some 100 years ago, turnips were almost the main dish on the table, but now they are almost exotic. And completely in vain. After all, turnips contain the maximum amount of elements with anti-cancer properties and easily digestible polysaccharides, which are indispensable in the diet. Freezing turnips for the whole year is very easy, easier than steamed turnips.

Today, few housewives make turnip preparations for the winter. And to the question: “What can be cooked from turnips?” - most simply will not find the answer. I propose to fill the gap and master the canning of this wonderful root vegetable. It turns out sweetish-salty with a slight bitterness.

Our ancestors did not have a question about what to do with turnips. Previously, it was a frequently consumed vegetable in Russia, but now it is unfairly forgotten.The reason is the appearance of potatoes, which cook faster. But fresh, juicy turnips are healthier for us than potatoes. It does not make you fat - it is a low-calorie product and a good way to rid the body of toxins.
