Its fine, firm flesh becomes tender and creamy when cooked. Its good winter hardiness allows for a long harvesting period from autumn into the following spring. After cool weather and the first frosts, its natural sweetness becomes particularly pronounced. With its productive roots and vigorous foliage, ‘Halblange Turga’ is suitable for growing in garden beds and raised beds, providing an aromatic winter vegetable throughout the colder months. The variety is suitable for the mild growing periods in Mediterranean climates and for cultivation in Central European regions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"83\" width=\"69\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Origin_History_-_Herkunft_Geschichte_-_Origem_e_Historia_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065844\"\u003e   Origin \u0026amp; History\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Halblange Turga’ has been known since 1973 from Ekkarthof in Lengwil, in the Swiss canton of Thurgau. The variety was bred by Ilmar Randuja and originates from the early biodynamic vegetable breeding movement in Switzerland. Its name combines its regional origin with its root shape: ‘Turga’ refers to the canton of Thurgau, while ‘Halblange’ denotes the variety type. In French-speaking regions, it is also known as ‘Demi-long Turga’, and in Italian as ‘Turga medio-lunga’.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe variety continues to be maintained in Rheinau today. ‘Halblange Turga’ is characterised by its uniform, creamy-coloured roots, vigorous foliage and good yield. In Swiss organic commercial cultivation, it has been recommended as a parsnip for autumn harvesting and storage. This open-pollinated variety continues to be maintained and propagated in organic seed production today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\"\u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe plants develop a vigorous, upright rosette of large, pinnate leaves with coarsely toothed margins. In the first year, the foliage usually reaches around 40–60 cm in height. Beneath the foliage, broad roots develop, tapering evenly towards the tip.
