Despite its rich taste, turnip provides only a small amount of energy per serving. One cup of raw turnip contains only 36 calories -- around 2.5 percent of your daily caloric intake if you follow a 1,500-calorie diet, or 1.8 percent of your daily intake on a 2,000-calorie diet.

This includes approximately 5 grams of sugar, 2.3 grams of dietary fiber and 1.2 grams of starch.
