Turnip

Ancient variety widely grown in the USA in the 19th Century. The skin is white except for the part sticking out from the ground, which is bright purple. The flesh is white, firm and sweet. The roots grow to be 7 to 10 cm wide. Very hardy to the cold. The foliage, slightly spicy when young, are delicious in sautés, soups, or steamed, on top of being rich in vitamins.   Package: 400 seeds Photo Credit: Ferme de Sainte-Marthe
