Grow crisp, mildly sweet shalgam at home with this classic purple top turnip variety. The roots develop a bright white lower body with a deep purple crown and offer excellent flavour in curries, soups, and pickles. This hybrid variety grows quickly and thrives in winter with minimal care.
Ideal for home gardens, raised beds, or medium grow bags, this turnip variety offers high yield, soft texture, and a firm bite. You can also use the tender green leaves in stir-fries or saag mixes.
Quick Grow-Guide
Sow directly 1–1.5 cm deep in soft soil. Keep the bed weed-free and water when the topsoil feels dry. Harvest when roots are about 2–3 inches in diameter—firm and coloured. For best taste, pick before the roots mature fully.
Pro Tip: Harvest greens early for a mild flavour and re-growth potential.
