Similar to raw cabbage or radish, turnip leaves and roots have a pungent flavor that becomes milder after cooking. Turnip roots weigh up to , although they are usually harvested when smaller. Size is partly a function of variety and partly a function of the length of time the turnip has grown. Most very small turnips (also called "baby turnips") are specialty varieties. These are only available when freshly harvested and do not keep well. Most baby turnips can be eaten whole, including their leaves.
Vegetable oils as alternative energy carbon dioxide (CO) out of the Earth's atmosphere to make vegetable oil. The same CO is then put back after it is burned in an engine. Thus vegetable oil does not increase the CO in the atmosphere, and does not directly contribute to the problem of greenhouse gas. It is really a way of catching and storing solar energy; it is a renewable energy. However, as with other "renewable" energy sources, there may be a (relatively small) carbon footprint associated with production or distribution of vegetable oil. Vegetable oil is far less toxic than other fuels such as gasoline, petroleum-based
