I'll have to find some ways to cook it because I have quite a bit of it. Kohl is German for cabbage and Rabi is Swedish for turnip.

Quite good from what I remember.

Seems kohlrabi eventually won out and the subject was jokingly aired in a commercial. They were forced to issue an apology when the industry raised Hell. Last edited by 1minute; 07/09/14. 1Minute

We grow two varieties, the early version is the Eder and the later variety is the Winner. Use to grow the super sized Kossack but now just went back to the two. The Eder is fantastic raw. Take your kids and your grand kids huntin' and shootin'.

The plants are shaded and don't grow much until you harvest the plant that's shading it. If you love someone set them free If they come back no one else liked them Set them free again
