The purple top is a variety of turnip (Brassica rapa). Turnips are biennial plants, which means that their life cycle takes two years. However, vegetable gardeners grow turnips as an annual, harvesting the root-like tubers at the end of the first growing season. With purple tops, the part of the tuber that grows below ground is white, while the upper part that sticks out of the ground is purple. The greens, which are also edible, grow from the purple part. Purple tops grow larger than many varieties of turnip, and they can be stored successfully in a cool, moist location.
