About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
The famous giant kohlrabi from Switzerland, whose white bulbs can reach several kilos and still stay tender. Contrary to what you might expect, it hardly turns woody even at a considerable size, as long as you keep it well supplied with water. As a late, open pollinated variety it is ideal for the autumn sowing and keeps for a few weeks in a cool cellar after harvest.
Astonishingly mild and juicy for its size, with almost melting flesh. Diced in soup or lightly steamed it shows its tender side best.
