Purple Top Turnips are marked by a vibrant gradient of color with regal purple cap blending into a creamy white base. Their medium-sized globes with crisp, firm flesh showcase a sweet, slightly tangy flavor that becomes increasingly mellow upon cooking. Ideal for roasting, braising, or mashing, these turnips can also be thinly sliced or julienned for a crunchy addition to salads and slaws. They complement hearty stews, can be pickled for a tangy side dish or served alongside meats for a balanced plate. Purple Top Turnips are nutritious, offering vitamin C, fiber, and potassium, making them a healthful component of any meal.
Nicolas Donck, a Belgium native, relocated to Georgia and started Crystal Organic Farm back in the mid-90's with a mission to grow healthy, organic produce. Many say he is singlehandedly responsible for introducing Atlantans to many plants of the endive and chicory varieties that were already popular in Belgium. Along the way, Nicolas helped found the Morningside Farmers Market and eventually met the love of his life, and now farm partner, Jeni Jarrard-Donck. Jeni brings an extensive knowledge of medicinal herb cultivation and usage to the partnership, making Crystal Organic one of the most well-rounded and diverse farms in the State.
