Gera

GERA is a mid-season turnip variety with a period from full emergence to the beginning of technical maturity of 85-90 days. The rosette of leaves has a semi-erect structure, and the round root crop is distinguished by bright anthocyanin skin coloration and a mass of 300-400 g. The flesh is yellow, juicy, and tender, while retaining its taste and aroma even after culinary processing.

This turnip variety boasts high yields - up to 4-4.5 kg/m², which makes it an attractive choice for commercial cultivation. The root crop is low-calorie but rich in fiber, pectin substances, and easily digestible carbohydrates. It contains plant protein and fats in the form of mustard oil, as well as a multitude of trace elements: phosphorus, sodium, magnesium, potassium, iron, and especially a large amount of calcium.

GERA is rich in B-vitamins, vitamin PP, E, A, and beta-carotene. Vitamin C is present in greater quantities than in cabbage, carrots, beets, and some citrus fruits, making it a valuable source of antioxidants. Due to the stability of beneficial substances to thermal processing, this vegetable retains its nutritional properties even after boiling, baking, or frying, providing a wide range of possibilities for preparing dishes.
