Hakurei (F1) Turnip Seed
Hakurei (F1) Turnip Seed
This white salad turnip sets the standard for flavor.
The smooth flat-round white roots mature early (just after radishes) and are best harvested young, up to 2" diameter. Eaten raw, the flavor is sweet and fruity and the texture is juicy and tender. The tops may be eaten raw or lightly cooked. Hakurei stays smooth as it sizes.Specs:
