A stunningly beautiful and delicious turnip traditionally grown in lovely Nagasaki, Japan. This sweet turnip has a plum to wine color skin with a hint of delicate purple in the sweet, crisp flesh. Great for pickling and a delicious raw turnip for fresh eating and salads. Incredibly good
Nagasaki Akari Kabu thrives in cool weather and is best grown in well-drained, loamy soil rich in organic matter. The turnips should be planted in full sun, but they can also tolerate partial shade, though this may affect growth. Consistent moisture is key to preventing the roots from becoming tough or woody. To protect against common pests like flea beetles, consider using row covers.
