How to choose turnips?

Centuries-old vegetable, widely consumed before the advent of the potato, the turnip (Brassica rapa) remains somewhat marginal in gardens. However, it certainly deserves a place due to its numerous nutritional benefits. Moreover, the turnip boasts a wide range of varieties with different shapes and colours that can be enjoyed raw and grated or cooked as a side dish with meat, in a stew, or in a couscous, in a ragout, or, as a supreme delight, caramelised with honey. In the garden, the turnip prefers humus-bearing, light soils, and partial shade. It thrives in regions with a temperate and mild climate. Additionally, it can be sown throughout the year to be harvested from early spring to November. If you are not yet convinced or fear its sometimes peppery taste, discover our selection of turnips chosen for their shape and colour, their sweet and mild flavour, their productivity, their harvest period, and their storage duration.
