16. Turnips
Turnips are best known for the amount of potassium that they contain, which is around 233 milligrams in just one medium sized one. But this cruciferous vegetable is also high in fiber, which makes it help relieve constipation and promote bowel movements. Furthermore, turnips also lessen any inflammation in the colon, helping make you feel fuller for longer periods of time as well. Although turnips are not the most commonly used of the other root vegetables, you can prepare them in the same way you would a potato. You can bake them, boil them, steam them, mash them, roast them, julienne them, eat them raw, or even make them into a coleslaw if you like!
