Turnip Greens (sauce)

Description

Anyone looking to lose weight, or simply maintain their weight, should eat vegetables at every meal, whether steamed, sautéed in olive oil, in soup, or even in natural juices and smoothies. Preferably, vary the variety you consume! Turnip greens, one of the alternatives available on the market, regardless of the variety, are an excellent addition to any dish, as they provide a high amount of fiber and water and are low in calories.

They simultaneously satiate and have a diuretic effect, very beneficial for any diet, but especially for a calorie-restricted one. According to many nutritionists, turnip greens, rich in vitamin C, contain significant levels of potassium, vitamin A, calcium, magnesium, protein, folic acid, and carbohydrates. And the best part? Their properties have been linked to the prevention of colon cancer, one of the most deadly types of cancer.
