German Turnip

German Turnip

Kohlrabi, a charming and lesser-known member of the brassica family, offers a distinctive appearance that captivates gardeners seeking unique vegetables. Resembling a mix between a turnip and a cabbage, kohlrabi boasts a bulbous, above- ground stem, which is the main edible portion of the plant. Its tender and sweet taste is reminiscent of mild broccoli stems or radishes, making it an excellent choice for fresh eating or incorporating into salads. Furthermore, the leaves of kohlrabi can be cooked and enjoyed like spinach or kale. Kohlrabi is quick to mature, making it a great choice for succession planting and extending the harvest season. With its intriguing appearance and delightful flavor, kohlrabi is a fantastic addition to diverse gardens and adventurous culinary ventures.
