Purple Vienna Kohlrabi

Purple Vienna Kohlrabi Heirloom Vegetable Seeds

This is so much fun to grow. Harvest bulbs when they are 3 inches wide or about the side of a tennis ball. The bulbs have a purple skin but the interior is white. It has a similar flavor to cabbage and a similar crunchy texture to turnips. The leaves are edible like kale. I like to peel the skin and thinly shred to eat raw with dip or add on top of a salad.

We have a very small window to grow traditional brassicas in Florida. These crops bolt very easily when there is a hot day. Therefore, we grow brassicas during late fall, winter, and early spring. This can also be challenging because winter weather in Florida fluctuates so much. We have a cold day followed by a very warm day. Again, this triggers traditional brassicas to bolt. I find that if I have not harvested by March, then its too late.

Follow me on social media because I post a lot of information on how to grow the very same seeds available in my Etsy shop. Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok: jerrasgarden.
