Organic Purple Kohlrabi from Ireland.

Looking something like a Sputnik in vegetable form, with a squat bulb and antennae-like shoots, kohlrabi is part of the cabbage family.
The name translates from German as ‘turnip cabbage’ and the mild, sweet flavour is somewhere between a turnip and a water chestnut, with a crisp, crunchy texture. 

The Purple Kohlrabi is slightly a bit more sweet and crisp taste not taking into consideration the amazing color! 

Recipe Ideas:

- Snip off the leaf stems, trim off the base and top, then use a potato peeler to peel it as if it’s an apple. Then thinly slice, chunk or cut into wedges.

- Roast whole or in chunks, steam as a side or add to your stir fry in thin slices.

- The leaves can be cooked like cabbage.

- It is delicious raw in thin slices or grated in a salad or slaw with a dressing. 

- Add it to shredded white cabbage and ferment it into a sauerkraut with fresh dill. Our sauerkraut recipe is here.
