The Biggest Kohlrabi We've Ever Seen -- Yet it's Tender and Crisp!
Kohlrabi Kossak Hybrid
Succulent white flesh without a trace of woodiness or dryness.
These 8- to 10-inch bulbs taste even better than their smaller counterparts!
85 days. If your county fair were to hold a Kohlrabi-growing contest, all the winners would be Kossaks! This hybrid just doesn't know when to stop growing, finally topping out at about 8 to 10 inches across. Now, you'd expect a big loss of texture and flavor for all that extra flesh, but amazingly not. Kossak is actually tastier than the smaller varieties, with not a trace of the "woodiness" to which older bulbs sometimes fall prey.
The flesh is white on this giant, with a firm texture and tender succulent flavor. Each mammoth bulb makes several meals!
Direct-sow in early spring for late-spring harvest, or in midsummer for fall harvest. Space the plants about 6 inches apart. Unlike most vegetables, Kohlrabi can take a little shade without damage. Pkt is 35 seeds.
