Wondering What a Kohlrabi Is?
Kohlrabi is a strange-looking vegetable, with its funky bulbous stem that looks like it should be underground and its crunchy flavor is a nutritional powerhouse that doesn’t get enough attention. I learned about this veggie about 10 years ago from a farmer’s market vendor (aka, small local farm). Back then, kohlrabi seemed to be having a moment, like all the farmers got together and decided to start growing kohlrabi at the same time. Or, maybe it was always there, and I only just noticed it. You’ll know Kohlrabi when you see it. It looks like a turnip with a greenish or purplish bulb, and green stems emerging from all around the bulb topped with dark leafy greens.
Kohlrabi bulb/stem is crunchy like jicama with a subtle sweetness. But the crunchy bulb is not all, the Kohlrabi greens are also edible and so healthy. Find your next favorite recipe!
