Kohlrabi Slaw

Kohlrabi takes me back to my childhood. Kohlrabi is a vegetable that’s related to cabbage and it’ a staple vegetable in Poland. As kids we would walk to farmer’s markets that are widely available in big cities in Eastern Europe, and get a bunch of kohlrabies and snack on them in the afternoon. Sometimes they wouldn’t even make it home, we would just eat them on the way.

Kohlrabi is an excellent source of nutrients and vitamins. One cup of kohlrabi provides 93% of your daily vitamin C needs and other antioxidants .

Raw kohlrabi bulbs can be chopped or grated into salads, or as a snack with hummus. It can be cooked or added to stir fry, or soups. Kohlrabi leaves are also very nutritional and can be used in salads or soups.
