# Turnip Top Is Good

I have met this ingredient from Southern Italian foods. And I fell
in love with it.

Like other Cucina Povera ingredients, it is simple and frugal but
highly nutrient and taste good. In other words, very efficient.


Just look at this nutritional profile and the average price.

It has even more Calcium than milk and Vitamin K than broccoli.
While extremely cheap. Because people eat the roots way more than
the greens. But the greens are more nutrient. Also turnip itself
is easy to grow.


My favourite way of eating is stir-frying with olive oil and garlic.
Possibly with breadcrumbs or pasta.

Or as a Greek horta with olive oil and red wine vinegar.
