Culinary Tips

• Kohlrabi may be one of the more intimidating items in your CSA box, but it offers a delightful combination of familiar tastes. It’s got the texture of a radish, the sweetness of a winter carrot, and the flavor of broccoli. 
• Along with other cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cabbage, kohlrabi is member of the brassica family and is packed with vitamin C and potassium.
• It's best to peel or slice off the tougher outer skin of kohlrabi.
• Kohlrabi is frequently used raw in salad or slaws. 
• One simple way to serve kohlrabi is sliced raw alongside cheese and crackers for a quick snack or appetizer. Slice up kohlrabi and carrot sticks raw for a snack, kids love 'em!
• Kohlrabi can also be chopped into chunks and roasted or sautéed. 
• Kohlrabi leaves are edible and can be used interchangeably with collard greens and kale.
