Turnip Red Ball, Radish Seeds (Brassica rapa subsp. rapa)
Turnip Red Ball is a fast-growing, heirloom variety valued for its vibrant red skin, crisp white flesh, and mild, slightly peppery flavor. This versatile root vegetable has been cultivated for centuries across Europe and Asia, prized for its adaptability, nutritional benefits, and dual-purpose use—both the root and leaves are edible. Ideal for home gardens and market growers, this variety thrives in various climates and soil types.
Plant Characteristics
Turnip Red Ball develops round, smooth, deep red roots with a bright white interior. The roots typically reach 6–8 cm (2.5–3 inches) in diameter, maintaining a firm, non-fibrous texture even when mature. The plant produces lush, green, edible leaves that are tender and flavorful, making them an excellent addition to salads and cooked dishes.
Taste and Nutritional Benefits
This variety offers a mildly sweet, slightly spicy taste, with a crisp and juicy texture. It is an excellent low-calorie, high-fiber vegetable, rich in vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants, supporting digestion, immune function, and overall health. The greens are also packed with essential nutrients, including folate and calcium.
Cultivation Recommendations
• Sow seeds directly in well-drained, loose soil at a depth of 1 cm (0.5 inches).
• Keep soil consistently moist to encourage even germination, which occurs within 5–10 days.
• Thin seedlings to 10–15 cm (4–6 inches) apart to allow proper root formation.
• Prefers cool temperatures (10–20°C / 50–68°F) and performs best in early spring or fall plantings.
• Ready for harvest in 45–55 days, producing tender roots with optimal flavor.
Uses and Applications
Turnip Red Ball is highly versatile in the kitchen. The roots can be eaten raw in salads, pickled, roasted, or stir-fried, while the greens can be used in soups, sautés, or as a spinach substitute. Due to its quick growth, it is an excellent choice for succession planting, ensuring a continuous harvest throughout the season.
