Purple Top White Turnip is one of the oldest and most widely grown turnip varieties, with a history tracing back to ancient Europe and Asia, where it was valued as both a staple root crop and a nutritious leafy green. Recognizable by its creamy white globe-shaped root topped with a splash of rich purple, this classic variety has been passed down through generations of farmers and gardeners.

Its flavor is mild, sweet, and earthy, with a crisp texture when young that becomes richer and more robust as it matures. Both the roots and the tender green tops are edible—making it a true dual-purpose vegetable. The roots are excellent for roasting, stews, and curries, while the greens add a fresh, slightly peppery note to sautés and soups.
