Kohlrabi, raw

Kohlrabi is a unique and versatile cruciferous vegetable instantly recognizable by its pale green or deep purple bulbous stem. Often described as a delicious cross between a crisp apple, a mild turnip, and a broccoli stem, raw kohlrabi boasts a refreshingly sweet, slightly peppery flavor alongside a satisfyingly crunchy texture. In the kitchen, its crisp and juicy interior makes it a fantastic addition to an array of fresh dishes. It is frequently julienned to add a bright crunch to slaws and mixed green salads, sliced into thick sticks as a sturdy vehicle for savory dips, or simply peeled and enjoyed on its own as a hydrating, refreshing snack.
