Description
Purple Top White Globe Turnip (Brassica rapa var. rapa) is the quintessential heirloom turnip, widely grown for its delicious dual-yield of sweet roots and nutritious greens. Producing smooth, round roots with bright purple tops above ground and creamy white bases below, its white flesh stays crisp, tender, and mild when harvested young. Fast-growing and reliable, it excels in spring or autumn crops for roasting, mashing, or fresh salads.
