Turnips are an edible root crop, nutritionally providing seven carbohydrates and one protein. Turnips can be planted in May, maturing in fifty-five days, and withering in September. Turnips grow in groups of up to twenty plants, and each plant produces a fistful of seeds. Turnips are the fastest growing crop. Turnips can be cooked into stewed turnips in the embers of a fire; however they do not restore much nutrition, raw or cooked.
