About CHOPPED TURNIP GREENS
Meijer Chopped Turnip Greens are a canned vegetable product sold under the Meijer private-label brand by Meijer, Inc. of Grand Rapids, Michigan. This product belongs to the canned vegetables category and consists of turnip greens packed with water, representing a two-ingredient minimally processed canned leafy green product.
Turnip greens (Brassica rapa subsp. rapa) are the leafy tops of the turnip plant, a traditional staple vegetable in Southern U.S. cuisine. Commercially canned turnip greens undergo a heat sterilization process in water within the can, which extends shelf life without the need for preservatives beyond the heat treatment itself. The chopped form facilitates even distribution in the can and ease of portioning. Canned turnip greens are commonly used in braised preparations, soups, and as a side dish in Southern cooking traditions.
Nutritionally, this product provides a very low 12 calories per 100 grams, making it among the lowest-calorie canned vegetables available. Protein is 0.78 grams per 100 grams, carbohydrates 3.12 grams, and fat is zero. Fiber is 2.3 grams per 100 grams, a meaningful amount for a very-low-calorie food. The serving size is 128 grams. The caloric and macronutrient profile reflects the high water content of both the vegetable and the packing liquid, as well as the inherently low caloric density of leafy greens.
