Navet de Nancy

“A handsome form of the Early Flat Purple-Top turnip, remarkable for it’s earliness, the regularity of the shape, and the very deep colour of the upper part of the root.”

The strain we have today is almost identical 130 years later, except that the leaves are less deeply cut . We like this one because it has a good flavour without being overwhelmingly strong, and because you can also eat the leaves cooked like spinach. (Not all varieties have nice-tasting leaves, but this one is particularly good.)

Seedcrop selected and grown for us by the good folks at Trill Farm Organic Garden. Always popular.
