Hakurei (F1)
(Brassica rapa)
Product ID: 706
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 tastes better and stays smoother as it sizes. Avg. 185,000 seeds/lb. Mini: 200 seeds. Packet: 1,250 seeds.
Days to Maturity or Bloom: 38
