Turnip tops, boiled in unsalted water

Turnip tops are the leaves of the turnip plant. The figures here describe leaves boiled in unsalted water. They provide vitamin A, vitamin C and folate, as well as some protein and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 1000µg of vitamin A (retinol equivalent), 40mg of vitamin C, 120µg of folate and 2.7g of protein.

Vitamin A supports normal vision and immune function, while vitamin C helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Folate is needed for normal blood cell formation. These unsalted boiled leaves contain little salt and only trace amounts of fat; adding salt or fat during preparation would change this. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
