Description

Brassica rapa ssp. rapa 'Turnip BIO' – Flat White May: a versatile, fast-growing turnip

Brassica rapa ssp. rapa Turnip BIO , better known as the White Turnip, is a beloved vegetable among home garden enthusiasts and professional growers. This organic turnip distinguishes itself through its rapid growth, refined taste, and wide range of culinary uses. Thanks to its reliable yield and easy cultivation, this variety is ideal for both novice and experienced gardeners.

Characteristics of the Flat White May turnip

The Platte Witte Mei is a flat-round shaped turnip with a fresh, white color. Depending on growing conditions, the shoulders may turn light green, which is a natural characteristic of this variety. The tubers remain relatively compact and reach their best quality at a diameter of approximately 6 to 7 cm. This makes them perfect for a soft, tender texture and an optimal taste experience.

The flesh is fine, white, and has an aromatic, slightly spicy flavor. This subtle sharpness makes the turnip particularly versatile in the kitchen. When harvested young, the turnips are extra tender and ideal for raw use, while cooked they develop a soft, slightly sweet taste.

Cultivation and growth: simple and fast

One of the biggest advantages of the organic Brassica rapa Turnip is its short growing season. The first turnips can be harvested within just 6 to 7 weeks after sowing. This makes it an excellent choice for those who want to see quick results in the vegetable garden.

The sowing periods are flexible:

  • Spring cultivation: sow in April and May
  • Autumn crop: sow in July and August

Sowing is done as direct seed in rows. Maintain a distance of:

  • 30–35 cm between the rows
  • 10–15 cm between the plants in the row

After emergence, it is important to thin out the plants so that each turnip has enough space to develop properly. Airy, nutritious soil and sufficient water ensure optimal growth and beautiful, uniform tuber formation.

Harvest and use

The harvest of this turnip starts as early as the beginning of June with spring sowing and in the autumn with later cultivation. For the best taste and texture, it is recommended to harvest the turnips young, around the previously mentioned diameter of 6–7 cm.

In the kitchen, the applications are endless:

  • Raw: in salads or as a crunchy snack
  • Boiled: as a side dish or in stews
  • Roasted: for a more intense, slightly sweet flavor
  • Soups and purees: for a soft, creamy texture

The leaves of the turnip are also edible and rich in nutrients, which makes this plant extra valuable.

Why choose organic turnip seeds?

Turnip BIO seeds are organically grown, which means they are free from chemical pesticides and artificial fertilizers. This contributes to a sustainable and environmentally friendly vegetable garden. Furthermore, organic cultivation promotes healthy soil and rich soil life.
