Turnip White Ball Seeds (Brassica rapa subsp. rapa)
Turnip White Ball is a fast-growing, heirloom variety prized for its smooth white skin, crisp texture, and delicate sweetness. Originally cultivated in Asia and later popularized in Europe, this variety is highly adaptable and known for its tender roots and nutritious leafy greens. With its mild flavor and excellent storage qualities, White Ball turnip is an essential addition to home gardens and commercial farms.
Plant Characteristics
White Ball turnip produces round, uniform roots with a smooth, bright white skin and a firm, juicy interior. The roots typically grow to 5–8 cm (2–3 inches) in diameter, maintaining a tender texture without becoming woody. The plant develops lush, dark green leaves that are equally edible and rich in essential nutrients.
Taste and Nutritional Benefits
This variety has a mild, slightly sweet flavor with a hint of nuttiness, making it excellent for both raw and cooked dishes. Turnips are a low-calorie, high-fiber vegetable, packed with vitamin C, calcium, and antioxidants, supporting digestion, immune health, and overall well-being. The tender greens are equally nutritious, commonly used as a spinach or kale substitute.
Cultivation Recommendations
• Sow seeds directly in well-drained, loose soil at a depth of 1 cm (0.5 inches).
• Keep soil consistently moist for optimal 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 thrives in spring and fall plantings.
• Harvest in 45–55 days, when roots are tender and full of flavor.
Uses and Applications
White Ball turnips are highly versatile, perfect for salads, roasting, steaming, stir-frying, and pickling. Their sweet and crisp texture makes them ideal for fresh consumption, while their greens can be used in soups, sautés, and side dishes. This variety is also excellent for storage, retaining its freshness and texture for extended periods.
