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!

Y​ou 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!
