Care and Harvest

Purple Kohlrabi grows a single bulb that develops above the soil line. Harvest bulbs at 3-4 inches in diameter by snipping at the base. You may harvest some leaves, but avoid cutting more than a third for continued growth.
Taste and Use

Enjoy fresh Purple Kohlrabi in vegetable crudités, salads, or slaws, or try it stir-fried or roasted. While it’s best to enjoy the leaves within 1-3 days of harvest, you can store the bulb for weeks in the refrigerator.
Origin

Kohlrabi is native to northern Europe. By the late 16th century, it had become popular across all of Europe, the Mediterranean, and other parts of the world. The first record of Kohlrabi in the U.S. is from 1806. While completely different in appearance, vegetables like Kohlrabi and Brussels sprouts are both descendants of wild cabbage.
