Hida Beni Turnip, also known as Hidabeni, is a striking Japanese heirloom renowned for its vibrant magenta skin and crisp white flesh. This variety originates from the Hida region in Gifu Prefecture, Japan, where it has been traditionally cultivated. In fact, the name "Hidabeni" combines "Hida" (the region) and "beni," a term referring to a red pigment derived from safflower petals, an indication of the turnip's red color. The roots are small, round, and slightly flattened, offering a mild, slightly sweet flavor with a tender texture. Ideal for fresh consumption, pickling, or light cooking, Hida Beni Turnip matures quickly and thrives in cool seasons, adding both visual appeal and flavor to the garden and table. Show more
