About TKE Farms & Gardens - Purple Top Turnip Seeds For
The purple top turnip (Brassica rapa var. rapa) is a root vegetable that has been cultivated for centuries in Europe, Asia and North America. It is an annual plant belonging to the family Brassicaceae, which also includes cabbage, broccoli and kale. The turnip has a round or slightly flattened shape with smooth white skin which may be tinged with purple near the top of its bulbous root. Its fleshy interior is usually white but can sometimes have streaks of green or yellow running through it. Purple top turnips are easy to grow and require very little maintenance once established in the garden; they prefer full sun but will tolerate partial shade as well as moist soil conditions. In addition to being a popular garden vegetable, these turnips are widely used in cooking and can be eaten raw or cooked. They have a mild, sweet flavor with hints of nuttiness that pairs well with other vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and onions.
