Benefits on Turnip Puree:

Turnips are high in vitamin C, fibre and protein. They are also packed with potassium, which is crucial for your baby's health and development. 

Potassium is good for maintaining healthy blood pressure, helps with muscle function and heart rhythm and, in later years, may reduce the risk of kidney stones and osteoporosis.
