Kohlrabi Olivia F1

approx 50 seeds
NZD 5.35

A two-in-one vegetable with tasty roots and leaves. The name comes from German and literally translates as ‘cabbage turnip’, but this undervalues its excellent juicy crispness and light flavour, which is slightly sweet and milder than both a cabbage and a turnip.
