Purple Kohlrabi growing outdoors on a Tower Garden during the cold months of winter in Ibiza, Spain 💜🌿
Kohlrabi is another cultivar of the Brassica family such as kale, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, collard greens, arugula, watercress, mustard greens, and Brussels sprouts. Like all its cousins, Kohlrabi can be considered as a superfood (as long as it is eaten raw) as it is packed with nutrients and antioxidants!
We highly recommend growing Kohlrabi and eating it raw instead of cooking it. Kohlrabi just needs to be peeled and either grated or sliced nicely using a mandolin. It has the crunchy texture of radish with an omnipresent pallet reminder of cabbage flavor. We love to grow & eat Kohlrabi!
Kohlrabi is not root vegetable since the edible part of the plant is a bulbous, modified stem which grows above the ground. Therefore it is perfect for the Tower Garden!
