45 days. Brassica rapa. Open Pollinated. Snowball Turnips. This early-maturing plant produces good yields of 3 to 4" diameter white, round turnips. A popular turnip variety, prized for its pure white, round-to-egg-shaped roots with tender, mild, sweet white flesh. They are round and white colored on the interior and exterior. They are sweet, tender, mild, and flavorful. Very delicious eaten raw like an apple, grated and added to salads, roasted whole as baby turnips, mashed, in soups and stews, or cooked. The dark green tops are also edible and nutritious, and can be used as greens. Best when harvested when roots are small, 1 to 2" in diameter. Stores well. A long-time favorite in the South. Ideal for summer and autumn harvests. Excellent choice for home gardens. United States Department of Agriculture, PI 303134. A variety from the USA.
