~ KOHL RABI Seed ~

If you don't know it, then you should. This is well worth growing as it comes ready
right at the start of summer when there aren't many other vegetables available.

Kohl Rabi is a really easily-grown vegetable from the cabbage family that makes a large round ball just above ground.
The inside is tender, and has a wonderful flavour that can best be described as partway between courgette and broccoli.

You sow it in spring for harvest in summer,
and you can also sow in late summer for use overwinter.

It keeps well and is nice raw or cooked, Josie (aged 9) takes slices to school for her snack at breaktime.

This beautiful and tasty kohl rabi was released in 1976. It has been bred for quick production of intensely blue (almost purple) bulbs.

The main sowings are throughout spring for consumption all summer, but it can also be sown in July for a nice autumn harvest.

Quick, for fresh consumption

BACK IN STOCK!

A traditional variety that makes unusually large green bulbs – up to 4 kg in weight! It has been bred for good winter storage qualities. We grew it very successfully in two ways:

  • early sowings which we harvested quite young from July onwards,
  • later sowings which we let get really big for storage overwinter.

Huge and reliable, good storage.

Last March we opened a sack of these that were stored overwinter in our shed; they are great, just the same as when put away last autumn. Still tender, nice raw or cooked, and a welcome addition to our spring diet.

We think these are the best seeds you can sow.
We will immediately refund or replace if you are in any way less than delighted with them, even including the flavour of the resulting crop!
