🥬 Kohlrabi 'Blankyt'
🥬 Botanical Name: Brassica oleracea (Gongylodes Group) 'Blankyt'
🥬 Type: Hardy Biennial (grown as an annual)
Kohlrabi 'Blankyt' is a unique, blue-skinned variety of kohlrabi that produces tender, crisp bulbs with mild, slightly sweet flavour and excellent texture. The eye-catching violet-blue skin contrasts beautifully with its pure white flesh, making it a standout both in the garden and on the plate. It’s ideal for raw salads, light steaming, or stir-fries, and matures quickly — making it perfect for spring and autumn harvests.
