Hakurei | F1 Turnip Seed
$6.70—$384.21AUD gst excl.
This white salad turnip sets the standard for flavour
The flat-round, smooth, white roots mature early, just after radishes, and are best harvested young, up to 5cm diameter. Eaten raw, the flavour is sweet and fruity, and the texture is crisp and tender. The dark-green, hairless tops are useful raw or lightly cooked with the roots. Hakurei stays smooth as it sizes. Avg. 36,300 seeds/100g
