Kohlrabi Blauer Speck
Discover the beauty and exceptional qualities of Kohlrabi Blauer Speck, an old German heirloom introduced in 1914. This variety produces gorgeous, violet-blue globes with a unique frosted appearance. Its German name translates to “Blue Bacon Kohlrabi,” a testament to its hypnotic blue color and the ultra-fine-grained, buttery flavor of its stems.
The large, flattened stems of Blauer Speck are also notable for their incredible storage life, a valuable trait from a time before modern refrigeration.
This old commercial variety is an excellent choice for both small-scale farmers and home gardeners.
For an early harvest, start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost, sowing them ¼ inch deep. Transplant seedlings outdoors with 6-8 inches of spacing between plants and 18-24 inches between rows. Kohlrabi thrives in cool weather and prefers full sun to partial shade.
Ensure consistent moisture for optimal growth. Blauer Speck has small, sparse leaves, which allows for tighter planting and efficient use of garden space. Harvest the striking blue globes when they reach your desired size. Enjoy their unique color and delicious, buttery flavor raw or cooked.
Their excellent storage capability also extends your harvest enjoyment.
