Growing Method

BelOrta’s yellow turnip is grown in open fields, which means it grows outdoors without the use of greenhouses or tunnels. This gives the turnip all the space it needs to grow and develop naturally. The result? A firm texture and full flavour. Open-field cultivation also contributes to the product’s sustainability and ensures an honest, traditionally grown end product.
