Early Purple Vienna Kohlrabi

55 days — 'Early Purple Vienna' Kohlrabi is an old, standard home garden and market variety. The skin of the bulbs have a purplish hue and the flesh is bright, greenish-white. These are best enjoyed when they are two to two and one-half inches in diameter, before they become woody.

Their flavor is mild, not pungent like turnips. We enjoy them raw by simply peeling and slicing. A little salt can be sprinkled on them as desired. Additionally, the greens are used to make an excellent soup. Each packet contains one gram, which is approximately 250 seeds.
