Key Features

• Spherical root with firm white flesh and a mild taste, featuring a distinctive purple crown above ground.
• Fast maturation cycle: approximately 60 to 75 days after sowing, depending on conditions.
• Culinary versatility: enjoyed raw in salads as well as cooked (gratin, puree, soup, stew).
• Suitable for successive plantings, allowing for regular harvests throughout the cold season.

Cultivation and Sowing Tips

• Sow directly in the ground, 1–2 cm deep, with 5–8 cm between plants and 15–20 cm between rows.
• Germination is generally fast, between 7 and 14 days, at a temperature around 15–20°C; cool, rich soils promote uniform growth.
• Thinning is necessary to leave 5–8 cm between plants to obtain well-formed and regular roots.
• Moderate and regular watering to keep the soil moist without creating stagnant water, which alters the texture of the roots.
• Harvest when roots reach approximately 4–6 cm in diameter; harvest progressively to enjoy continuous production.
• Storage: place turnips in the refrigerator in a perforated bag to preserve crispness and flavor for several weeks.
