Word of the Day: Kohlrabi

[RubyK]

Kohlrabi, also called German turnip, is a biennial vegetable, a low, stout cultivar of wild cabbage. It is another cultivar of the same species as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, Savoy cabbage, and gai lan. It can be eaten raw or cooked. Wikipedia



Kohlrabi is a vegetable that is not familiar to me. I first heard the name when I moved to MN from a neighbor who had grown it in her garden. I've never eaten it.

I love some kohlrabi mixed in with other root veggies in a soup!

As a young child, the smell of cooked turnips used to turn my stomach, and to this day I refuse to eat cooked turnips, and if kohlrabi is the same, I reckon that I wouldn't be a big fan of it either.

I had never heard of kohlrabi until I had a go at growing vegetables. My family loved it, and there was no waste with it.

[Pappy]

I can hear my wife now. No, it’ll give you gas. You have enough gas now.
Me: that’s why I want it.

ROFLMAO!

I think you're confusing the two, Paps, there's "ramp", and there's ramping it up, Paps style!
