Golden Ball Turnip Seeds

Golden ball turnips, scientifically known as Brassica rapa var. rapa, belong to the Brassicaceae family; this family is also known as the mustard family. These turnips are well-regarded for their round, golden-yellow roots which offer a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Unlike other turnips, the golden ball variety is particularly noted for its tender and smooth texture, making it an excellent choice for a variety of culinary applications. 

Golden ball turnips can be used in numerous ways in the kitchen; they can be roasted, mashed, or even eaten raw in salads. The roots are not the only edible part; the greens are also nutritious and can be cooked similarly to spinach or kale. When preparing golden ball turnips, it's important to peel the skin if you prefer a smoother texture, although the skin is also edible. Their mild taste makes them a versatile ingredient, complementing both sweet and savory dishes.
