A Gourmet Garden Essential Available in Two Vibrant Varieties.
Commonly known as the “German Turnip,” Kohl Rabi is a fast-growing, delicious brassica that produces a swollen, bulb-like stem just above the ground. It is prized for its crisp, juicy white flesh that offers a mild, sweet flavourreminiscent of a cross between a crisp apple and a tender broccoli stem.
Select your variety:
-
Green Delicacy: The classic choice for the earliest harvest. It produces pale, lime-green bulbs with a delicate, melting texture. Excellent for early spring sowings.
-
Purple Delicacy: A stunning addition to the garden with vibrant, deep-purple skin. It is slightly slower to mature than the green variety but offers superior hardiness and a striking visual contrast on the plate.

Gardeners Tip: To enjoy Kohl Rabi at its best, harvest when the bulbs are between the size of a golf ball and a tennis ball. This ensures the texture remains crisp and succulent. If left to grow too large, the “bulb” can become woody.
