When you open up your bag this week, you will find a green bulb with leaves that sort of resemble kale leaves and/or collard greens. Let us formally introduce you to our friend, the mystical, delicious, alien-like KOHLRABI! We promise, it's not as intimidating as it looks, keep reading.
Kohlrabi is in the same family as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and collard greens, hence the familiar-looking leaves. Although it looks vastly different from those veggies, it has a similar taste to them! For those of y'all that like to get *technical* Kohlrabi, and all of the aforementioned veggies, are all bred from the same wild cabbage species, Brassica oleracea.

Storing these cute little guys is super easy!
When you get home, chop off the greens, rinse, drain and store in sealed container or bag. The greens will store for a few days. If left unpeeled, the bulb will store well for weeks!
"That's cool and all, but how do I use it?"

Chop off greens, set aside, cut in half, peel, slice! Click here for a kohlrabi recipe!
The rest is simple!
You can saute the greens with a little olive oil, garlic and crushed red pepper. If you slice the bulb into cubes, you can steam/saute it as you would broccoli or cauliflower. Otherwise, just chop it up and throw it in your favorite stew or soup!
