Description
Ocean Air Farm (Ft. Dick, CA) and Valley Flora Farm (Langlois) both grow Kohlrabi: Valley Flora grows the standard green and the pretty purple color, while Ocean Air grows just the purple. Each bulb weighs around a pound, including the top. Some people use the stems and leaves (they taste like a cross between cabbage and turnip), and some people don’t. Both farms grow all their fruit and veggies with organic practices, and your kohlrabi will be coming from one farm or the other, as shown above.
Kohlrabi is German for “cabbage-turnip” and has a mix of both flavors; the cabbage flavor is strongest when eaten raw, and the turnip flavor comes out with cooking. Use in any recipe that calls for kohlrabi. Great raw as well as cooked!
Kohlrabi stores just fine in the crisper for up to a month; just remove the leaves and stems before storing. To use, peel the outer skin away, and any woody sections (such as where the bottom root attaches to the kohlrabi globe).
