HEIRLOOM. A timeless heirloom variety, ancient yet still tops with turnip lovers!
Turnip lovers cherish these deliciously sweet and tender white roots. Handsomely blushed with pink to purple at the crown, these classic heirloom turnips range from 4–6" across. Super-nutritious young leaves on the easy-growing plants are the classic southern greens of legend and are perfect for soups, in vegetable gratin, or baked alongside other root vegetables.

- For turnip greens, pick 4 weeks after sowing or wait until the roots develop and harvest turnip roots when they reach 2-3 inches in diameter, no less than 30 days after sowing.
- If grown in spring, be sure to harvest roots before hot weather arrives so they will not grow too large or woody and pithy. Harvest fall turnips after a frost for a sweeter flavor. To extend your harvest in fall, mulch heavily in the fall to keep the ground soft.
- Eat turnips raw or cooked. The thinned turnip seedlings are also delicious on top of sandwiches or salads. Rinse thoroughly before use.
- Turnips may be stored two weeks in the refrigerator or 8-10 months in the freezer after blanching. Keep away from raw meat and meat juices. Turnips may also be canned.
