Quickstar F1 is an early-maturing hybrid kohlrabi known for its rapid growth, excellent quality, and reliable performance. It has received the RHS Award of Garden Merit for its outstanding garden performance and ease of cultivation. The plants produce smooth, light green, uniform bulbs with an attractive appearance, making this variety an excellent choice for both home gardens and commercial production.
This variety reaches harvest in approximately 45–55 days from sowing. It produces crisp, juicy, white flesh with a mild, sweet flavor. The bulbs remain tender even as they increase in size, providing a flexible harvest window while maintaining excellent eating quality.
In the Gulf countries, Quickstar F1 is best sown from October through December. Seeds can be started indoors in September for an earlier harvest, with seedlings transplanted once they have developed several true leaves. This variety performs best during the cool winter growing season.
The bulbs are delicious when eaten fresh in salads and are also excellent for soups, stir-fries, and other cooked dishes. Their crisp texture and mild, sweet taste make Quickstar F1 one of the finest kohlrabi varieties for both fresh use and cooking.
