Turnip Snowball

Turnip Snowball is a very popular first-class, globe variety with solid flesh and a juicy, sweet, mild flavour. It is an heirloom turnip that was introduced before 1885. Pure white flesh as its name suggests, Snowball is best harvested when no larger than a tennis ball and can also be enjoyed when much smaller.

Snowball is superb for both table and exhibition, they are a fast crop, being ready in just five to eight weeks from sowing. It will yield a good supply from early summer to early winter, and the tops make most nutritious and tasty greens.

Large woody turnips of old have mainly been replaced with smaller white varieties that are delicious grated raw into a salad or as a welcome side dish, leaving the swedes to take over in the stew department!
