A taste of the weird and wonderful kohlrabi plant

Fiann Ó Nualláin offers a taste of the weird and wonderful kohlrabi plant EVERY time I see a kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea gongylodes).

Every time I see a kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea gongylodes) I think of the Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch, it’s such a fantastical looking plant that it should be in the corner of his painting The Garden of Earthly Delights. That said, weird is often wonderful and this little number is one you might consider to grow in your own real garden of earthly delights. An unusual gem, kohlrabi is flavourful, health-enriching and a visual delight — what more do you want?
