This two-colored turnip is a very versatile, pretty and robust turnip variety. It belongs to the autumn turnips, but is often cultivated as a May turnip. It bears very nice turnip greens - the turnip tops can be harvested from autumn to spring and used as a salad or fresh vegetables.
Autumn turnips are very popular especially in the Alpine region and in France. There they are used as a vegetable for stews or processed into 'Rübenkraut', turnip kraut, by pickling. Due to its late sowing period in July / August, this plant is a good following crop for beans, peas or early potatoes.
