Russian Golden Turnip Petr Seeds (Brassica rapa subsp. rapa)
General Description
Russian Golden Turnip Petr is a highly productive, heirloom variety known for its bright golden skin, smooth texture, and sweet, nutty flavor. This traditional Russian turnip has been cultivated for generations, valued for its cold-hardiness, rapid growth, and excellent storage capabilities. Ideal for home gardens and market growers, it thrives in a variety of climates and soil conditions.
Plant Characteristics
This variety produces round to slightly flattened roots with vibrant golden-yellow skin and creamy, tender flesh. The roots typically grow to 6–10 cm (2.5–4 inches) in diameter, maintaining a crisp and juicy texture without becoming woody. The plant also develops lush, green edible leaves, which are packed with nutrients and can be used as leafy greens.
Taste and Nutritional Benefits
Russian Golden Turnip Petr is known for its mildly sweet, nutty, and slightly earthy flavor, making it perfect for both raw and cooked dishes. It is low in calories but high in fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants, supporting digestion, immune health, and overall wellness. The tender leaves are also rich in essential nutrients and make an excellent substitute for spinach or kale.
Cultivation Recommendations
• Sow seeds directly in well-drained, loose soil at a depth of 1 cm (0.5 inches).
• Keep soil consistently moist for even germination, which occurs in 5–10 days.
• Thin seedlings to 10–15 cm (4–6 inches) apart for proper root development.
• Prefers cool temperatures (10–20°C / 50–68°F) and is best grown in early spring or fall.
• Harvest in 45–55 days, when roots are firm, smooth, and at their peak flavor.
Uses and Applications
This versatile turnip can be eaten raw in salads, roasted, boiled, mashed, or pickled, while its greens are excellent for soups, stir-fries, and sautés. Due to its long storage life, it remains fresh for extended periods, making it an excellent choice for winter food supplies.
