Kohlrabi Purple Vienna Organic Seed Pack

Description

Because of its turnip-like appearance, kohlrabi is sometimes misclassified as a root vegetable. Leaves stand out like little spokes on the sides and top of the edible, enlarged stem. You’ll welcome not only kohlrabi’s unusual shape, but also its crisp texture and wonderful, delicately sweet, nutty, and very slightly peppery. Eat it like an apple, or try it steamed, sautéed, or pickled, too! One cup contains 140% of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C.

Variety Information: Enlarged, bulblike portion of stem forms just above soil surface. Flavor is between an apple and a mild turnip. ‘Purple Vienna’ has a reddish-purple, slightly flattened globe with tender white interior.
