Have you ever eaten kohlrabi?

We usually eat them rawpeeled, sliced and added to a salad or used for serving with a dip.

Just peel away the outside thick skin first.
Add them to soups or stews.
Grate them and toss with grated carrots or apples.

Boil them and mash them with potatoes or other root vegetables.
Stir-fry them with other vegetables, or julienne them and fry them like potatoes.
Look for Indian recipes using kohlrabi as they are often used in Indian cuisine.

The leaves are also perfectly edible, and can be cooked up like kale.
What Does Kohlrabi Taste Like?
Kohlrabi tastes similar to a broccoli stalk, but a bit more tender and sweet.
Don’t forget to remove the tough outer peel, then use the bulb either raw or cooked.
Small or thin pieces are best since the raw bulb is very crunchy.
Avoid wilted leaves and blemishes.
Store kohlrabi in the crisper drawer.
Use the leaves as soon as possible, within a few days.
The unpeeled bulbs will keep for up to a month.
