520 seeds. 55 days. Brassica rapa. Biennial.
 
Turnip 'Purple Top White Globe' is usually eaten when it is 3–4 inches in diameter. The whole plant is edible. I like to cook turnips and mash them with potatoes to give the potatoes a more complex flavor and tone down the mustard flavor of the turnips. I also like to pickle the turnips with onions and garlic. Turnips can store a few month in a a refrigerator with the tops taken off. 
 
I grew Purple Top White Globe for the first time in 2022, and I fell in love with how vigorously they grew compared to the beets and chard.
