Early Purple Vienna Kohlrabi

Early Purple Vienna kohlrabi is a beautiful and flavorful heirloom variety known for its vibrant purple skin and crisp, tender white flesh. This cool-season vegetable belongs to the brassica family and develops a round, bulb-like stem above the soil, which is the edible part. It has a mild, slightly sweet taste, similar to a blend of cabbage and broccoli, and can be eaten raw in salads, slaws, or cooked in soups and stir-fries. Plants are compact, making them ideal for small gardens or containers, and they mature quickly—usually in about 55–60 days. The purple skin adds ornamental appeal, while the flesh remains juicy and crunchy even as the plant grows.
