Kohlrabi

Kohlrabi is a cool-season vegetable in the brassica family, related to cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower. It grows as a round, swollen stem above the soil and has a crisp texture with a mild flavor that combines elements of cabbage, broccoli stems, and radishes.

Kohlrabi varieties may be green or purple, though both have a similar pale interior. The entire plant is edible, including the bulb-like stem and young leaves. It is especially well suited to the cooler growing seasons of the Northeast.

In Season: May-Jun, Sep-Nov● in season now
