For those with half shares, this is “B” week.

Serving Suggestions:

• Last week I shared our kohlrabi with a family member who had never tried it before. For members who might be intimidated I share some kohlrabi info today:
  • Kohlrabi might look crazy but it’s a cousin of more familiar cabbages (think “kohl” = the “cole” of cole slaw)
  • Sometimes called a German Turnip, it’s not actually a turnip
  • It can be eaten both raw or cooked
  • High in fiber and more Vitamin C per gram than an orange!
  • In the past I have grated them and used them with potatoes to make homemade latkes
  • Add diced kohlrabi to bulk up vegetable soups
  • Try roasting thick slices and topping with parm and garlic
