Filed under: personal, products — admin @ 11:53 pm

this week in the CSA basket was kohlrabi?? as the other members came in to pick up their deliveries, i couldn’t help but notice that many of them were really excited over something i can hardly say. however, after a few google tries, i came up with something that looked like this:

what the h- is this thing? and more importantly, why are people talking the socks or stalks off it?!?

well as every veggie goes: it is either a root, shoot or stem..or leaf for that matter, and i decided to give it a try.

based on others telling me, i could eat it raw. so i did…

pretty good. like a mellower radish, but hardier and with a little more substance…ummm, ate our entire basket so i will have to tell you about cooking it for next week. i must say: great for a dip or snack…actually pretty dang good!
