Seven Top Turnip (Brassica rapa) is a highly regarded heirloom variety known for its nutrient-rich, dark green leaves rather than its root. Unlike traditional turnips, this variety does not develop a large root, making it an excellent choice for those looking to grow fresh salad greens, sautéed greens, and nutrient-packed additions to meals.

Seven Top Turnip thrives in cool-season gardens, making it a great option for fall and winter planting. With its mild mustard-like flavor and tender leaves, it is a staple in Southern cuisine and brings a delicious, peppery bite to many dishes.
