Vegetable
White Lady
A tier
White Lady is a smooth, pure white, early turnip hybrid or type aimed at tender roots and mild flavour for fresh market—similar goals to Tokyo/Hakurei class eating without always carrying those names. Flesh is juicy and fine; skin needs no peel when young. Suitable for quick cook and raw use. Glaze, roast small, or slice raw. A clean white look suits pale composed dishes. Avoid oversized roots.
