Shogoin Turnip
Shogoin Turnip is a versatile Japanese heirloom prized for both its crisp, mild roots and its abundant, tender greens — a genuinely dual-purpose vegetable where both harvests are outstanding. The roots are excellent sliced raw on relish trays, steamed until just tender, or roasted until the edges caramelize, while the large, nutritious green tops growing up to two feet tall are classic Japanese cooking greens used in stir-fries, soups, and braised preparations. Fast-growing and reliable across both spring and fall gardens.
