Probably originating from southern Europe , this mixed kohlrabi brings together up to five varieties in a range of hues , from tender green to deep purple , creating a vegetable garden that is as colorful as it is bountiful . Its swollen part, emerging from the stem, forms a fleshy head that sits just above the ground, while its vigorous foliage can also be harvested.

A hardy, quick-maturing biennial plant, kohlrabi adapts well to short growing seasons . Its compact shape , early growth , and discreet flowering make it an ideal crop from spring to autumn , particularly in communal and shared gardens .

At Jardins de l'écoumène , this blend is carefully produced despite the challenges of seed production in cold climates. Each seed is the fruit of patience nurtured by a passion for life.

Growing climate: Cool to warm temperate climate
Sowing difficulty level: Easy
Care required: Occasional

Note: This plant tolerates low temperatures well and appreciates moderate humidity.

The white flesh, crisp and sweet, is reminiscent of cabbage, with a sweet and slightly spicy touch.
It is delicious:

raw, in salads, crudités or rémoulade;
cooked, steamed, sautéed, roasted, in a gratin or soup;
marinated or fermented, for invigorating preservation.

The tender leaves can also be eaten like tops: sautéed, added to soups or cooked like spinach.
Harvesting begins as early as mid-June for early sowings and continues until autumn. This vegetable is a fun and colorful gateway to a hearty and joyfully local cuisine.
