Kohlrabi

Purple KohlrabiKohlrabi (Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes) is an odd-looking garden plant. It has a bulbous, enlarged stem just above the soil surface,resembling a turnip, with leaves protruding like spokes. Kohlrabi is a close relative of cabbage and broccoli. Most varieties will perform well in Kansas if planted at the correct time. There are both purple and green varieties that do well. Most kohlrabi is best in the 2- to 3-inch size, but there are also varieties that have been developed to be of good quality at larger sizes. Para información en español, visite este sitio web.
