Superschmelz Giant White Kohlrabi
(Brassica oleracea) Superschmelz kohlrabi is an heirloom variety of kohlrabi, a member of the brassica family of vegetables, that is known for its tender, succulent texture and slightly sweet, mild flavor. Superschmelz is prized for its large, globe-shaped bulbs that are easy to grow and harvest. The name "superschmelz" translates to "super melt" in German, referring to the vegetable's tender texture and ability to "melt" in your mouth. The flesh of the kohlrabi is crisp and juicy, with a mild flavor that is often compared to a combination of turnips and mild broccoli stems. 55-60 days to harvest.
CULTURE: Sow seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost. Sow seeds 1/4" deep in pre-moistened seed starting mix. Keep moist until germination has occurred (7-14 days). Transplant outdoors once soil temps have reached approximately 45-50 degrees. Successive sowings can be made every 1-2 weeks throughout spring and fall.
