So I guess turnips and rutabagas are way ahead of potatoes in terms of
fiber/CHO ratio, and total CHO content by weight. But what I don't
understand is that if you look at a glycemic index it's a different
story. On the white bread index, white potato is 80, and rutabaga is
103! I didn't see turnips listed.
