White Egg Turnip Seeds
Snowball Variety • Fast-Growing • Sweet, Tender Roots

White Egg Turnips—often called "Snowball" for their smooth, gleaming white appearance—are a classic heirloom variety prized for their rapid growth, mild flavor, and crisp texture. These roots grow just beneath the soil line in an egg-like shape and are ready to harvest in as little as 45 days. Unlike larger turnip types, White Egg turnips are tender even when mature and rarely become woody.

Their flavor is delicate and slightly sweet, making them perfect for slicing raw, roasting whole, or grating into fresh slaws. The lush green tops are equally delicious and packed with nutrients—ideal for braising or tossing into soups.

Details:
• Botanical Name: Brassica rapa
• Common Name: White Egg Turnip, Snowball Turnip
• Lifecycle: Biennial (grown annually for roots and greens)
• Days to Harvest: 45–55 days from seed
• Root Size: 3–4" oval, partially above ground
• Flavor Profile: Mild, sweet, and juicy
• Sunlight: Full sun to light shade
• Soil Needs: Loose, fertile, well-draining soil with even moisture

Growing Tips:
Direct sow 1/2" deep, spaced 1–2" apart in rows 12–18" apart. Thin seedlings to 3–4" spacing once established. Prefers cool weather—plant in early spring or late summer. Fast-growing and frost-tolerant, this variety excels in raised beds or in-ground plots. Harvest when roots are egg-sized and still tender.

Seed Packet Includes:
• Minimum 1 gram (~250 seeds)
• Open-pollinated, non-GMO, heirloom seed
• Packed for the current season
• Grown and packed in the USA

Garden Notes:
Snowball turnips pair well with carrots, peas, and leafy greens. Their compact, quick-growing nature makes them ideal for succession planting or early harvest before heat sets in. Best planted in early spring or late summer through fall.

Kitchen Use:
Enjoy raw with dips, roasted in olive oil, or lightly sautéed. The white flesh is crisp and refreshing, and the greens can be cooked like spinach or kale. This variety is a favorite for small-space gardeners and chefs alike.

“He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for people to cultivate—bringing forth food from the earth.” — Psalm 104:14
