This white salad turnip sets the standard for flavor.
The flat-round, smooth white roots mature early, just after radishes, and are best harvested young, up to 2" diam. The flavor is great raw - sweet and fruity - and the texture is crisp and tender. The dark green hairless tops are useful raw or lightly cooked with the roots. Compared with other early white turnips, Hakurei has better flavor and stays smoother as it sizes. Avg. 185,000 seeds/lb. Packet: 400 seeds.
Plant Cycle: (A) Days to Maturity or Bloom: 38
