A confused turnip? A spindly cabbage? Kohlrabi doesn't look like a culinary treat, but the bulbous stem--the principal edible part--can be eaten raw or cooked; it has a mild radish-turnip flavor and crisp texture. The young leaves taste like a delicate cabbage. I took this photo at the Farmer's Market last summer, and I'm considering putting a few in my garden this year, if I can find them at the nursery.
