Turnip Golden Ball Seeds (Brassica rapa subsp. rapa)

General Description
Turnip Golden Ball is a highly productive, heirloom variety known for its smooth golden-yellow skin, tender texture, and sweet, mild flavor. Originating in Europe, this variety has been cultivated for centuries due to its rapid growth, excellent adaptability, and long storage life. Its resistance to bolting and ability to thrive in diverse climates make it a favorite among gardeners and commercial growers.

Plant Characteristics
Golden Ball turnips produce round, uniform roots with bright golden skin and firm, creamy-yellow flesh. The roots typically grow to 5–10 cm (2–4 inches) in diameter, maintaining a fine-grained, juicy texture without becoming fibrous. The plant also develops nutritious, green edible leaves, which can be used as a leafy green alternative.

Taste and Nutritional Benefits
This variety has a sweet, mild, and slightly nutty flavor, making it ideal for both raw and cooked applications. Turnips are a low-calorie, high-fiber vegetable, rich in vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants, supporting digestion, immune health, and overall wellness. The tender greens are also packed with essential nutrients and are excellent for stir-fries and salads.

Cultivation Recommendations
• Sow seeds directly in well-drained, loose soil at a depth of 1 cm (0.5 inches).
• Keep soil consistently moist for even germination, which occurs within 5–10 days.
• Thin seedlings to 10–15 cm (4–6 inches) apart for proper root development.
• Prefers cool temperatures (10–20°C / 50–68°F) and grows best in early spring or fall.
• Harvest in 45–55 days, when roots are smooth, tender, and full of flavor.

Uses and Applications
Golden Ball turnips are incredibly versatile in the kitchen. They can be eaten raw in salads, roasted, steamed, mashed, or pickled, while the greens are perfect for soups, sautés, and side dishes. Due to their excellent storage properties, they remain fresh for extended periods, making them a reliable winter vegetable.
