Other potential health benefits

May promote bone health. Vitamin K plays a key role in bone metabolism, and animal studies suggest that glucosinolates may positively affect bone formation.

May protect your liver. Turnips’ content of anthocyanins and sulfur compounds, such as glucosinolates, have been shown to exert liver-protecting effects in rats with liver toxicity.

Turnips’ vitamin and antioxidant contents may provide anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antibacterial effects.
