We’ve got a new, crunchy veggie on our lineup this week. If you’re a Produce Box Subscriber, you may be asking yourself what to call that oddly-shaped alien vegetable is. It’s Kohlrabi! Crunchy like a radish, and mildly spicy, too. If you take the flavor of cabbage and combine it with the texture of a crisp broccoli stem, you’ve got a great salad or roasted veggie candidate on your hands. Shred it, and you’ve got the perfect base for a coleslaw — one of our favorite ways to enjoy our veggies. Crispy, creamy, and the perfect amount of tart. Grab your Kohlrabi by the stem and make a simple and delicious side dish for your lunches and dinners this week!
