Silky delicate texture and amazingly sweet taste. Resistant to White Rust. Roots are sold as Sweet Kabu in produce markets.

Kabu, which translates to “turnips”, come in many different colors and shapes around the world; the silky, white turnip is the most popular type in Japan. It is an essential ingredient in the traditional rice porridge (Nanakusa Gayu) eaten on January 7, which offers a recovery from the New Year's celebration festivities. Its other name, Suzuna, combines the words for “bell” (suzu) and “green” or “leaf” (na), and has the sacred meaning of a bell that calls the gods. This white turnip variety is different from other turnips offering juicier, more fruit-like flesh and mild sweetness in raw form.
