Open Pollinated Khol (Kohlrabi) - 100 Seeds

Botanical Name: Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes

Short Description:

Purple Knol Khol, also known as Purple Kohlrabi, is a distinctive cool-season vegetable recognized for its attractive purple, swollen stem that grows just above the soil surface. The edible stem has crisp, tender flesh with a mild, sweet flavor reminiscent of cabbage and broccoli. It can be enjoyed raw in salads, sliced as a crunchy snack, or cooked in curries, soups, and stir-fries. Its colorful appearance makes it an appealing addition to home vegetable gardens.

These open-pollinated (OP) seeds are suitable for gardeners who enjoy growing traditional vegetables from seed. Purple Kohlrabi grows best in cool weather and fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Harvest the swollen stems while they are young and tender for the best texture and flavor. The leafy greens are also edible and can be prepared like other cabbage-family vegetables.

Common Names: Purple Kohlrabi, Purple Knol Khol, German Turnip, Purple Turnip Cabbage.
