Kohlrabi

Finding GIANT kohlrabi at the market. Amazingly not woody. This special variety weighs in at 5 #. Made a very nice cold salad with julienned kohlrabi, tarragon dressing. Hot dish, same cut but quick sauteeed in butter. Will be julienning it for the next week !

Chistina, where are they coming in from? Kohlrabi Kossak Hybrid grows to about ten inches and is promised not to be woody. Their season is spring or around November here. My dad and step-mom loved to get them in November as they said that is the sweetest time. They cut them into matchsticks, and along with peanuts ate them with their before dinner drink.

Yes, it's the Kossak variety. In the markets here in Wisconsin now. Surprisingly not woody and great raw/slawed. Had I thought more carefully I would have waited until I had a crowd to feed. One rabi is enough for a few weeks for 2 !

I've never seen a giant kohlrabi like that--must be a sight!

I just prepared Kohlrabi Pancakes for a demo at ecofair 360, I love kohlrabi!
They were made like potato pancakes we just substituted kohlrabi and finished them with a drizzle of maple and ginja jam:)
