Purple Kohlrabi

• Bulb size: 2 1/2 inches
• Matures: 43 days

In German, kohlrabi is a "cabbage turnip," referring to the fact that it is in the cabbage family but forms an edible turnip-like bulb just above the soil line. Not truly a bulb, it is an expanded stem. The unusual purple bulbs have a mild turnip-like flavor and may be eaten cooked or raw. Be sure to harvest while still young or the bulbs can get pithy. Good source of vitamin C. Harvest by pulling the plant and trimming away the stems and roots. Plant 12 inches apart in rows 18 inches apart.
