Turnip Seeds - Tennouji Kabura. Heirloom, Non-GMO. Brassica rapa subsp. rapa. 25-45 days depending on type of maturity. Cool season annual. The Tennouji Kabura is one of the oldest traditional Japanese turnips. It was originally a specialty of the Osaka Tennouji district, where it thrived during the Edo era in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. The Tennouji is a close relative to variety #116 Nozawana, when its seed was sown in 1756 in the mountainous region of Nozawa. The semi-flat white oval root grows 3 to 4" diameter. This variety produces large leaves and is appreciated for its aroma and flavor, particularly pickled or dried. Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Sow seeds in spring after last frost or in late summer/fall for a fall/winter crop in a sunny location. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Plant every 2 weeks for continuous harvest. Best flavor and texture when harvested up to 2" in diameter. Cool temperatures improve the quality and flavor of turnips. Use in soup, salad, pickle or stir-fry. Asian turnips are mainly eaten when very young. They can be eaten raw with a dressing or added to stews and curries. The young green tops are stir-fried or used in soup. Small roots with tops are often lightly sauteed together. Both can be eaten fresh or cooked. Approximately 9000 seeds an ounce."
