Purple Vienna Kohlrabi
Purple Vienna Kohlrabi is a pre-1860 heirloom with beautiful, bright purple skin that encases crisp, white, cabbage-flavored flesh with a mild, sweet, slightly peppery taste that's genuinely delicious raw — sliced thin and eaten like an apple, julienned into slaws, or tossed into stir-fries where the refreshing crunch and subtle sweetness complement bolder flavors. The striking purple exterior makes it one of the most visually appealing vegetables at any farmers market, and the compact bulbs are easy to grow in a range of garden conditions.
