Its flesh is white in color, very tender and has a sweet taste. Rapidly growing, the turnip of the hammer virtues forms in about 2 and a half months. It lends itself well to forced cultivation. In cooking, it can be eaten raw or cooked. Its roots can be eaten grated or mixed with other raw vegetables. When cooked, they go perfectly with meat, stew, soups or stews.
