Convert smallest amount for vegetable (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

turnip

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for vegetable' is the definition.
(turnip is a kind of vegetable)

'convert smallest amount' is the wordplay.
'convert' becomes 'turn' (synonyms).
'smallest amount' becomes 'ip' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'turn'+'ip'='TURNIP'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for turnip that I've seen before include "Large-rooted vegetable related to the cabbage" , "what you eat?" , "food item" , "Rip nut up for a vegetable" , "'Root vegetable, yellow or white (6)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
