Vegetables Offered to Gods of Ancient Times
Turnips beets and radishes formed a valued trio in ancient Greece and Delphi temple offerings. Radishes hailed from China but were long cultivated in Europe with early cooking in boiling water, later raw with salt. Turnips aided hoarseness and coughs while medical uses included chest remedies and poultices for feet. The poor valued turnips, appearing on heraldic bearings in the Middle Ages to show charity.
