I moved the grocery store image here, because I believe those are beets.

Good! I thought they were very red turnips, but I also thought of the possibility they were a particular cultivar, or that my colour-blindess was worse than usual. --PJF(talk) 01:13, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
No, I'm just had some neurons cross wires up there somewhere. Not sure what I was thinking. Anyway, thanks for cleaning that up. – Quadell(talk) (sleuth) 01:44, Mar 12, 2005 (UTC)
sources
I know turnips aren't quite as much of a hot-button issue as, say, WP:BLP concerns, but it bugs me to see important claims made without sources in any article. How do we know someone didn't just make up stuff like:
"In 2005, China was the largest producer of carrots and turnips"
"Seed prices range from $1.50/lb for garden-variety turnips to about $8/lb for some new hybrid varieties"
"It is believed in Persia that boiled turnip is good for the common cold."
"Turnips are also popular in the Middle East"
"Evidence from around 1500 BC show farmers of India growing forms of wild turnip for the oil from its seeds."
"Turnips result from a swollen stalk of the plant and are not a swollen root, as popularly believed."
Blah, blah, etc., etc. I don't like just putting a 'citation needed' tag on potential false information, so I'm removing 'em till someone gleans sources. wikipediatrix —The preceding signed but undated comment was added at 20:18, August 22, 2007 (UTC).
