Kohl rabi
Sowing periods
A much under-rated and underutilised vegie. This purple skinned white fleshed Kohl Rabi has been grown on by Steve Solomon for its flavour. It is great raw, lightly cooked or used in soups. Eaten raw it has a crunchy sweet flavour, we grate it with a sweet onion and mix together with chopped parsley to use as a refreshing salad. 600 seeds.
An award winning green skinned kohl rabi with crisp, tasty flesh. Noted both for its earliness and flavour, this unusual vegetable is popular in eastern Europe. Eaten raw it has a crunchy sweet flavour, we grate it with a sweet onion and mixed with chopped parsley to use as a refreshing salad. 100 seeds.
The best kohl rabi around!! Deep purple skin, large bulbs and nearly fibreless white flesh. This variety is great raw, lightly cooked or used in soups. Eaten raw it has a crunchy sweet flavour, we grate it with a sweet onion and mixed with chopped parsley to use as a refreshing salad. 30 seeds.
The kohl rabi is super in many ways. It is big, sweet and very slow to run to seed. The bulb can reach 20-25 cm in size (up to 8 kg in some cases!) without becoming stringy and remains sweet and tender. The skin is white and light green. An old Swiss variety. 200 seeds.
