Re: IS this Normal??/turnips

[Guest guest]

This comes from www.southbeachdiet.com.....

Turnips are a root vegetable. The tops are listed on phase 1, but

the bottoms aren't. This is because they have a higher glycemic

index and not a good choice for phase 1 and 2. I have a suggestion

for mashed potatoes. Please try the SBD Surprise Mashed Potatoes. It

is really a great recipe. It used cauliflower instead of potatoes.

Click on Recipes (located under the Meal Plan folder). Type in

mashed potatoes in the search box. This will take you to the link

for this great tasting recipe.

Gee, I have turnips aka rutabagas about 2 x a week! OK, not a big

serving but... I know someone who went all through Phase 1 using

turnips as their major veggie and lost significant amounts. The book

OKs turnips. Hmmm. Well, I think I'll still keep eating them.

As with anything, as long as it doesn't cause cravings for you and

you continue to lose. Feel free to continue eating them.

They are two different vegetables:

Turnips and rutabagas are among the most

commonly grown and widely adapted root crops. They are members of the Cruciferae

or mustard family and belong to the genus Brassica. Turnips

are (Brassica rapa) and rutabagas are (Brassica napobrassica).

The two are similar in plant size and general characteristics. Turnip leaves

are usually light green, thin and hairy, while the rutabagas are bluish-

green, thick and smooth. The roots of turnips generally have little or no

neck and a distinct taproot, while rutabaga roots are often more elongated

and have a thick, leafy neck and roots originating from the underside of the

edible root as well as from the taproot.

It's that globular purple and yellow waxed thing in the supermarket.

Dead cheap. The produce label says rutabaga but as soon as they're in

the house I call them turnips. I think a common US term is Swedes

(???).

I think you have a point. There is something called turnips that more

closely resemble a parsnip. (too bad I lost the Larousse in the

divorce settlement ;-)

The way I distinguish them is that turnips are round, white with purple

sholders, ruatbegas are round, yellow with purplish shoulders, and parsnips

are long and skinny.
