Purple Vienna Kohlrabi

Raw, cooked, diced, fried, stewed, julienned, fresh from the garden, or stored for winter, this inter-planetary looking cole crop should be a more familiar sight in American gardens (not just in Roswell). This variety has a lovely purple hued skin and light green interior, giving it the luminescence of a flying saucer.

This pretty cross produces an enlarged stem that's turnip shaped and tastes like a sweeter broccoli. Great raw and cooked and best grown in spring and fall.
