Nutritional Information:
Good source of vitamin C and potassium.
What To Look For:
Light green in color and sometimes sold with its edible greens
attached. Choose small ones, and peel before using. Kohlrabi
may be white, green or purple in color. Look for kohlrabi
bulbs that appear fresh and that are less than three inches
in diameter. Leaf stems should be succulent and tender. Large
kohlrabi can be woody and tough.
Storage, Easy Cooking:
With the leaf stems removed, kohlrabi can be stored in the
refrigerator for several weeks. Storage life can be extended
if kohlrabi are placed in sealed plastic bags.
Best Uses:
Excellent raw in salads or as a cooked vegetable. The crisp
flesh can be served raw in salads, as a relish, or as a crunchy
accompaniment to dips. The bulb can be sliced, cut into quarters,
cubes or julienne strips and steamed until crisp but still
tender. Kohlrabi bulbs can be hollowed out and stuffed with
a vegetable or meat filling.
