Choose Turnips that are firm and solid.

General:

Turnip Greens are very high in calcium. Turnip roots are also high in calcium, but the greens provide more calcium. In fact, Turnip Greens contain more calcium than almost all other vegetables and also milk.

Mix Turnip juice or Turnip Green juice with other vegetables that are a good source of magnesium such as alfalfa sprouts, dandelion greens, parsley, cabbage, sweet peppers, etc. The reason why you want to mix with vegetables that contain magnesium is because magnesium helps the body use calcium more effectively.

Vitamin C also helps the body use calcium more effectively, but almost all vegetables will supply some Vitamin C.
