Kohlrabi

Kohlrabi Recipes

Kohlrabi is a part of the cabbage family, first grown in Europe around 1500 and brought to America around 1800. It has a turnip like appearance, with leaves standing out like spokes from the edible portion, which is a rounded, enlarged stem section growing just above the soil line. The kohlrabi should be peeled first, and then sliced raw in salads, cut into sticks for dip, or you can try cooking it up in one of our delicious Kohlrabi Recipes.

STORAGE

Kohlrabi globes will last a few weeks in the refrigerator, but the leaves are more perishable and should be used within a few days.
