Kohlrabi Purple Vienna
Botanical name: Brassica oleracea
Seed heritage: Austria, pre 1860
Purple Vienna is a unique and eye-catching vegetable that is grown for its delicious swollen stems. The plant produces a single, above-ground bulb that has smooth, deep-purple outer skin and crisp white inner flesh. From the top and sides of the bulb grows tall, upright stems adorned with vibrant green, edible leaves. The name kohlrabi translates to 'cabbage turnip' which accurately describes its flavour and texture, which is mildly sweet, nutty, and tender. They are best harvested when the bulb measures between 5-8 cm in diameter, and can be enjoyed in a variety of ways, including raw, cooked, or pickled.
