Pickled Turnip

Pickled Turnip is a common pickled vegetable in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines (and also used in various East Asian dishes), made by brining or fermenting turnip roots until they develop a tangy, crunchy character. It’s often served as a side, condiment or palate cleanser alongside grilled meats, sandwiches and mezze. Nutrition-wise, Pickled Turnip is low in fat and calories but can be a source of sodium as a preserved food — it contains about 1g of salt per 100g — and provides modest vitamin C and fiber compared with fresh vegetables. As a pickled brassica root, it contributes some of the micronutrients and plant compounds found in turnips; it can be a tasty way to add flavor and variety to meals, though choosing lower-sodium preparations or rinsing before eating will reduce its salt contribution.
