Kohlrabi
General Information
Kohlrabi looks rather alien, but that fits because it tastes out of this world. It might look like a root crop but it grows above the ground. Both the leaves and peeled globe can be eaten. Treat the greens like kale or collards. The peeled globe tastes like a sweet cross between cabbage and turnip and can be eaten raw or cooked.
Storage Information
Store leaves and globes separately in plastic bags in your refrigerator. The unpeeled globes can last about a month, but the leaves should be used within a week or two.
Cooking Suggestions
Peel and eat globes raw - plain or with dip.
Add to soups in cubes.
Grate and add to coleslaw.
Leaves can be sauteed with olive oil and onion for a side dish.
Substitute leaves for kale or collards in any recipe.
