Turnips?

Turnips for sale at a grocery store

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

[edit ]

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ドル.50/lb for garden-variety turnips to about 8ドル/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).
