  • Overview

    The best all-around kohlrabi we've found. Remarkable uniformity, texture, and flavor even past typical market size. Exceptionally sweet and mild. Holds a long time in the field without getting woody. Small petiole attachment makes for easier stripping and peeling. Terek's compact plant allows for tighter spacing and produces higher marketable yields. High quality up to 6" in diameter.
