Default Is Turnips & Butternut Squash CM friendly?

Hi all,,,I'm having difficulty as to whether or not turnips and butternut squash are cm friendly?

There is different U.S. style words used in the CAD book that i'm unfamiliar with such as 'turnip greens' and 'summer squash'.??
Can anyone out there enlighten me?
Thanks in advance!

Neither turnips or butternut squash are listed as a CM food in the CALP book.

I do not have access to a CAD book so I do not know if they are listed in that book.

I hope I was able to answer your question.

I don't know anything about CAD, but just FYI, summer squash is sort of like a yellow zucchini (totally different vegetable from butternut squash) and turnip greens are the turnip leaves that people eat as a cooked green. Hope that helps!

Turnips and butternut squash are not CM foods in either CALP or CAD.
