Sprouting Broccoli Leaf Turnip
Sprouting Broccoli Leaf Turnip, also known as rapino, is a highly productive variety in which the small head is surrounded all around by numerous green leaves. It is harvested about 75-90 days after sowing.
The Sprouting Broccoli Leaf Turnip Plant
Its botanical name is Brassica rapa, belonging to the Cruciferae family (Brassicaceae). Unlike traditional turnip tops, this variety makes use of both the side shoots and the leaves, both edible and suited to culinary use.
After the first cutting of shoots, the plant keeps producing new sprouts from the leaf axils, ensuring repeated harvests over time.
How to Sow Sprouting Broccoli Leaf Turnip
Sowing is done between June and September, in open ground or in seed trays, burying the seeds about 1 centimeter deep in soft, well-drained soil. Harvest generally takes place about 90 days after sowing.
How to Grow Sprouting Broccoli Leaf Turnip
Sprouting broccoli leaf turnip prefers well-drained soil with a near-neutral pH, in a sunny position. Watering should stay regular, avoiding waterlogging, which favours the development of fungal diseases.
Harvest by cutting the shoots while still tender, together with the surrounding young leaves: this encourages the plant to produce new sprouts.
Tips for Growing Sprouting Broccoli Leaf Turnip
To extend production, it is advisable to harvest shoots and leaves regularly as soon as they reach a suitable size, without letting the plant exhaust its energy on early flowering. Supportive feeding after the first harvests encourages the emission of new sprouts.
Diseases and Pests of sprouting broccoli leaf turnip
Like other Brassicaceae, it can be subject to attacks by cabbage white caterpillars and aphids, controllable with Bacillus thuringiensis treatments and natural garlic or nettle macerates. It is important to avoid waterlogging, which favours root rot and fungal diseases such as downy mildew.
Properties of sprouting broccoli leaf turnip
Sprouting broccoli leaf turnip is rich in vitamin C, fiber, calcium and minerals, with a low calorie content that makes it ideal for a balanced diet. Shoots and tender leaves are a versatile ingredient in traditional Italian cuisine.
