Turnip 'de Nancy' / 'Ronde Witte Roodkop' / Purple Top White

  • Product number: 240100
  • Origin: Europe
  • Latin: Brassica rapa

We are no longer used to eating them, but this ancient European variety tastes quite good in stews and soups, for example. The edible part consists of round tubers, white with a red collar. A customer wrote to us: "The 'De Nancy' Turnips were indeed very tasty. We simply cooked them as a vegetable with a piece of salmon and a homemade tomato sauce, delicious. The taste of these turnips surprised me. You hardly ever eat them in your life, of course."

Names:
Latin: Brassica rapa
