    Let me just say the most delicious way to eat kohlrabi is you slice them boil them till they’re soft and then put it in a Bechamal sauce, butter salt pepper yummy yummy best way to eat them! I am from Europe and I grown up eating them that way! When Calabe’s getting cooked that is when the flavor comes out instead of eating them uncooked!

    Thats a go for a second crop great start. More hay, more beef to fill future online shipments. Especially prepared meals. A Saturday bbq pit would with picnic tables and straw bales would be a hugh store magnet. Pick up your store needs, dessert and the burgers or hot dogs soaking in butter, garlic, onion and a splash of beer. Toast and dip the buns. Cook fries in beef tallow. Margins quadurple for a $10.00 1/4 bacon cheese burger with fresh vegie bar. Salads for the fruitcakes.

    I'm sure you know that kohlrabi leaves are edible--do you ever have anybody asking for the leaves? I am always a bit irritated when the greens on plants like kohlrabi & beets are cleaned off before they are put out for sale. These greens are super healthy & add variety to our standard selection of greens. Also do you grow any kale varieties other than curly? I love Lacinato or Tuscan kale.

    Andrew, when we harvested kohlrabi on my farm, we would just tilt the plant a little bit and snip them off. That was much easier than wrestling the roots out of the ground and then snipping them off. Glad to see harvest has begun and hopefully the weather calms down and cooperates for you this season. Probably your next video will feature you and Brian and the boys picking your favorite. Peas lol!

    FYI : The smaller bulbs tend to be more tender and flavorful, but the large ones are also fine for cooking and eating. The bulb and the leaves are all edible (the freshest kohlrabi will still have the leaves attached, which can be eaten raw or cooked like any greens). Every inch of the veggie is packed with fiber, vitamin C, potassium and even some protein.
