The Kohlrabi Purple White Vienna Blend, 'Brassica oleracea', is a curiously shaped member of the cabbage family. Kohlrabi is a crisp, mild and sweet source of fiber, potassium, calcium, and vitamin C. It may look like a space alien has invaded your garden, but you'll welcome not only Kohlrabi's unusual shape and it's crisp, juicy flavor in salads and slaws. Also try steamed, sauteed, or stir fried. Its flavor has been described as similar to apples, mild turnips, broccoli stems, radish and cucumber.Plant in early spring, 4 to 6 weeks before average last frost or in late summer for fall harvest. Kohlrabi prefer rich, moist, and well drained soil with lots of organic matter. Harvest when round portions are 2 to 3 inches wide.
