Kohlrabi has been part of traditional Central European vegetables since the 16th century, originating from wild cabbage in the Mediterranean region. With its mild-tender, juicy flavor and vigorous growth, it is considered an old variety and a true enrichment for heritage gardens. Today it is once again cultivated by organic seed initiatives and preserved as a historical rarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant grows vigorously, upright, and reaches a height of about 40 cm.

To remedy this, simply fold the outer cabbage leaves inwards to cover the head. Harvesting takes place before flowering, when the heads are the desired size and firmness. There should be a break of at least three years between two cultivation phases to prevent an imbalance of microbes in the soil. To prevent cabbage flies from laying eggs, we recommend using vegetable protection nets. To quickly obtain a fine, crumbly and permeable soil with good nutrient and water retention capacity, we recommend additionally incorporating biochar and primary rock flour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cu\u003eType of propagation\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePropagation occurs via seeds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003ePlant care\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the event of severe frost, cover the cauliflower heads.

As a traditional landrace, it was maintained over many generations within small‑scale farming communities. Written references to this variety appear only from the 19th century onward, yet the traditional lineage of coloured cauliflower types extends much further back. Botanically, it belongs to the family Brassicaceae, subfamily Brassicoideae, and the genus \u003cem\u003eBrassica\u003c\/em\u003e within the species \u003cem\u003eBrassica oleracea\u003c\/em\u003e var. \u003cem\u003ebotrytis\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Di Sicilia Violetto’ is known for its deep purple, compact heads, which were widespread in southern Italy before white standard varieties became dominant.

Finely divided, it serves as a base for fritters, fillings, spreads, and vegetarian Bolognese. Its mild, nutty flavour makes it highly versatile – from Mediterranean skillet dishes to curries and even pan‑seared steaks made from thick florets.

History\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Red Russian' is an open-pollinated kale with a long history dating back to the 19th century. The first mentions of this variety appeared as early as 1863, before Russian traders brought it to Canada around 1885, where it quickly established itself as a hardy winter crop. It belongs to the so-called Russo-Siberian kales (\u003cem\u003eBrassica napus\u003c\/em\u003e var. \u003cem\u003epabularia\u003c\/em\u003e), which are distinguished by their more tender, less curled leaves and mild flavor, setting them apart from the classic European kales (\u003cem\u003eBrassica oleracea\u003c\/em\u003e var. \u003cem\u003esabellica\u003c\/em\u003e). In gardening terminology, however, it is often referred to as kale, since its cultivation and use are closely linked to the European forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTraditional selection of 'Red Russian' focused on producing a winter-hardy, high-yielding kale with tender leaves, strong cold tolerance, and a particularly mild, sweet flavor after exposure to frost. These qualities made 'Red Russian' one of the most popular varieties for autumn and winter growing. Preserved over generations through careful seed stewardship, it is now considered one of the best-known historic kale varieties worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts most distinctive feature is the striking red-green leaves with purple-red veins and stems, valued not only for their culinary qualities but also for their visual appeal. In North America, 'Red Russian' became a staple of winter cuisine and was later rediscovered in Europe, where it is appreciated as an open-pollinated alternative to modern hybrids. Its reputation as a tender, delicately flavored variety has helped it remain popular in both home gardens and commercial cultivation, where it continues to be preserved and passed on through traditional seed saving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant grows upright and reaches a height of about 80 cm.

The variety is easy to care for, adapts well to different locations, and delivers stable yields even at low temperatures. Particularly noteworthy are the tender leaves, which allow for a wide range of uses, and the high cold tolerance that makes 'Red Russian' especially suitable for organic cultivation. In addition, the variety is characterized by rapid juvenile growth, enabling early harvests, and by continuous leaf regrowth, allowing multiple harvests throughout the season. It is less susceptible to common kale diseases and shows good resilience to changing weather conditions.
