Unit price perKohlrabi – Purple Vienna (Heirloom)
(Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes)
Kohlrabi ‘Purple Vienna’ is a classic heirloom variety prized for its striking purple skin, crisp texture, and mild, sweet flavour. This unique vegetable produces rounded bulbs that grow above the soil, with tender white flesh that is juicy and refreshing—perfect for eating raw, adding to salads, or cooking in a variety of dishes.
An easy‑to‑grow, cool‑season crop, Purple Vienna thrives in spring and autumn gardens and is well suited to both beginner and experienced growers. The bulbs develop quickly and should be harvested young for the best flavour, delivering a crisp texture similar to a mild turnip or broccoli stem.
