Hi Wan, in China, we use turnip root, and most likely will threw turnip flower away. My mother likes to cook turnip root with lotus root and pork ribs in winter.

Turnip root tastes like pear and it's good to lower down temperature for those having a fever.

Wan,

The turnip leaves can be eaten too. My mom used to make pickled turnip leaves when I was young. It tasted ok. As our living standards develop, we don't eat them anymore.

Me too. My mom is adept at making pickled turnip. Now she didn't make it.

GUEST36250 Mostly cultural, I think, not because it's "unclean." We refuse to eat canines because they're cute and furry and, along with cats, domesticated. Yet we eat pigs and not only are swine more intelligent than dogs, but it is alleged that pork is similar to what humans taste like.
In college I would often dine with friends from Nepal and India. They thought it was so gross that I drank cow's milk, I mean they were absolutely disgusted by it, but not for religious reasons. None of them were devout Hindus, but the society they grew up in is, and in Hinduism the cow is taboo.
It's all cultural.

Hindus drink cow's milk but do not eat its meat. Devout Hindus are mostly vegetarians.
