Turnip Snowballs, true to their name, have a crisp snow-white flesh in a smooth, round shape. These turnips mature to a manageable size, making the root as well as the green stalk and leaves ideal for fresh consumption or in cooked recipes. Whether sliced thinly into salads for a refreshing crunch or roasted with seasonal vegetables, Snowball Turnips add a delightful texture and mild, earthy flavour to your favourite recipes. With a consistent size and shape, these turnips are a chef's dream, ensuring even cooking and presentation in every dish. Turnips should be planted near peas or onion but must be kept away from other root vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and radish.
