Kohlrabi

Kohlrabi is something that usually throws people for a loop the first time they get one (I know it did me!)  Kohlrabi is in the same line as cabbage and in a way has a familiar taste.  Kohlrabi is best when the first couple of layers are peeled away and then it’s up to you how you serve it!  It works well raw but can also be quite tasty cooked.

To freeze Kohlrabi, simply blanche, ice bath, let cool, and then pack away in a freezer safe container.
