Hey: If a turnip got together with a cabbage and then one of them GOT PREGNANT, what would happen?
Answer: Kohlrabi!!!!!!!
“Kohl” means “cabbage” and “rabi” means “turnip.” Kohlrabi is believed by botanists to be the result of a union between these two vegetables, making its first sudden and scandalous appearance in Europe in the middle of the 16th century. It is incestuously close to broccoli, too.
The part that’s good to eat is actually the swollen stem. Eat it raw or cooked. Peel or don’t peel.
Some ideas can be found on our recipe page in the kohlrabi section. People have also added kohlrabi to the veggie burger recipe in the beet section.
OR
1. Grate it into a buttered pan to cook for just a couple of minutes and then season with salt and pepper. OR
2. Slice and serve raw or lightly steamed with salt and lime.
Kohlrabi was wonderful! Boiled, peeled and cubed, added to a chopped salad with potatoes, onions, carrots, peas, mayo.
