Kohlrabi is a brassica (cabbage, collards, broccoli, cauliflower, etc) and has a mild broccoli flavor. It can be eaten raw or cooked. The greens can eaten and are very tasty. Ivy Manning has a few recipes posted here on Culinate. I’ve added her recipes to our featured recipes above. See you at the market! Eamon Molloy Market Manager
