What does kohlrabi vegetable taste like?

A member of the cabbage family, kohlrabi carries a signature sweet-but-peppery flavor profile, with a taste and texture reminiscent of broccoli stems. When buying kohlrabi, pick vegetables that are firm and solid, never squishy.

Are kohlrabi greens good to eat?

Although the bulb of the plant is the most frequently prepared and eaten portion, the leaves are also entirely edible. Chiffonade them finely and toss them in a vinaigrette, or give them a rough chop and either steam or sauté them, as you would collard greens or kale.

How do you cut kohlrabi leaves?

How to Cut and Cook Kohlrabi

1. If the leaves are still attached, remove and reserve for other recipes (you can cook them as you would kale).
2. Cut a thin slice off the bottom so the bulb sits flat.
3. Use a veggie peeler to remove the tough outer skin.
4. Slice into quarters lengthwise, then cut out the core from each piece.

What can I do with kohlrabi leaves?

Slice, dice, or grate, and add to salads. Use on raw vegetable platters or serve with a creamy dip. Substitute in recipes calling for radishes. Grated kohlrabi can be added to slaw, but lightly salt it first and let stand for several minutes.

Does popcorn affect bowel movements?

Popcorn is high in insoluble fiber, which can cause bloating, distension, and flatulence in some people with IBS. If these symptoms are a problem, it may be better to choose foods high in soluble fiber, such as psyllium, oats, apples, and citrus fruits, instead.
