BRASSICA OLERACEA L. VAR. GONGYLODES
Kohlrabi
Kohlrabi is most commonly grown as a tasty back yard vegetable for humans, but it can also be a great edition to a food plot. As a member of the cabbage family, it is closely related to turnips, radishes, and forage brassicas. What makes kohlrabi unique is its enlarged stem that looks like a turnip, but rests above the soil. Once deer find this delicious food source, they'll be back for more.
