Kohlrabi 'Superschmelz'

Kohlrabi 'Superschmelz' is an exceptional giant variety, perfect for UK gardeners seeking a substantial and flavourful crop. Unlike standard kohlrabi, 'Superschmelz' can grow to an impressive size without becoming woody or losing its delicate, sweet flavour and crisp texture. The pale green 'bulb' (swollen stem) can be eaten raw, grated into salads, steamed, or roasted. It's a versatile and nutritious vegetable, high in Vitamin C. It prefers fertile, well-drained soil and a sunny position. Regular watering is key to prevent splitting. This reliable cultivar offers a prolonged harvesting period from summer into autumn.
