"We are dedicated to cruelty-free living through a vegetarian - vegan lifestyle. Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!"
(Turnips) Turnips are a root vegetable that are grown in temperate climates around the world.
Their history as an established crop goes back more than 2,000 years to Greek
and Roman times. We eat turnips cut up raw in salads and in strips with
dips, as they have a radish-like flavor. Turnips can be cook by themselves or in
stews and soups, and we have also cut them into strips and roasted them, as
finger food. See the nutritional charts below for raw
and cooked turnips.

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
