Description
Kohl Rabi Purple Vienna is an ideal companion to White Vienna as it matures a little later. Producing a crop that is slightly more tender and with more flavour, it is low growing, reaching about 30cm in height and matures quickly, progressing from sowing to harvesting in a couple of months.
By and large the hardiest cultivars are those with purple skins, sow from late February to the end of August for a continuous supply. Approximate weight is 150g. Purple Vienna has good standing ability for up to 30 days after maturity and is tolerant to cracking.
Kohlrabi is crisp with a delicate, sweet flavour and incredible crunch like a water chestnut. The young stem in particular can be as crisp and juicy as an apple, although much less sweet. The outer skin peels off without much effort to uncover a dense white flesh.
The taste is difficult to describe, if you can imagine a cross between a pear, a turnip, and a potato; but with notes of cauliflower and celeriac. Either way, it’s delicious and I would wager that most people who try it will be surprised and really enjoy the taste.
In the kitchen, it’s great for slicing or shaving into a salad, shredding into coleslaw, stir-frying, or roasting. The leaves are quite a treat, too, slow cooked like you would other greens or sauté with garlic and olive oil.

Bought these last year and they were vigorous growers. Had to buy them again for this year’s cooler growing season.
I’m giving 5 stars although there is NO WAY I have used these seeds yet!
