Brassica oleracea (Kohlrabi) Blankyt – Fast-growing kohlrabi for the entire season

Reliable and uniform blue kohlrabi

Brassica oleracea Blankyt, better known as Blankyt kohlrabi, is a fast-growing, early- and late-season hybrid variety suitable for the entire growing season. The flattened, blue tubers are uniform and have a delicate, crunchy texture. This kohlrabi is ideal for both professional growers and home gardeners who want to guarantee a consistent harvest of high-quality tubers.

Thanks to its robust growth and uniformity, Blankyt is resistant to bolting and cracking, ensuring optimal tuber quality even under less-than-ideal growing conditions. The variety is perfect for successive crops, ensuring a continuous supply of fresh kohlrabi from spring to autumn.

Cultivation and planting advice

Blankyt kohlrabi is versatile and can be grown in greenhouses or tunnels as well as in the open ground.

• Sowing (pre-sowing): January to July

• Planting out: in a greenhouse or outdoors

• Planting distance: 25 x 25 cm to 30 x 30 cm

Kohlrabi is a heavy feeder and needs sufficient nutrients for optimal growth and uniform tuber formation. Using organic fertilizers or compost at planting, supplemented with nitrogen-rich fertilizer during the growing season, promotes firm, tasty tubers.

Harvest period and growing time

Under good conditions, it takes 80–85 days from sowing to harvest. The harvest period extends from April to October, depending on sowing and planting time. Thanks to the early and late cultivation options, gardeners can plan multiple successive crops, ensuring a continuous supply of fresh, crunchy tubers throughout the season.

The uniformity of the tubers also makes Blankyt extremely suitable for professional sales and processing, as all tubers are of the same size and quality.

Culinary applications

The delicate, flattened tubers of Blankyt kohlrabi are versatile in the kitchen:

• Raw in salads or crudités: crunchy and slightly sweet

• Steamed or boiled: retains structure and flavour

• Stir-fries: soft texture and beautiful color

• Decorative presentation: uniform blue tubers are visually attractive

Thanks to its light and mild flavour, Blankyt is suitable for both children and adults and can be incorporated into a variety of dishes, from classic vegetable dishes to colourful salads and snacks.
