How to offer

Kohlrabi has a mild broccoli-stem flavor that pairs perfectly with sweet carrot. A great way to introduce less common vegetables.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze in ice cube trays for up to 2 months.

Nutrition note

Kohlrabi is an excellent source of Vitamin C, which helps boost the immune system and aids in iron absorption from other plant foods. It also contains fiber, which promotes regular bowel movements and gut health. Its high water content makes it a hydrating vegetable option.
