This week I picked up my first CSA share from Local Roots Farm. It was so exciting to open that box and discover all the fresh produce that was waiting for me. I felt like I was opening a present! And OMG - the sugar snap peas were incredible. I almost finished the whole bag on the car ride back from my pick up site (which is only about 1 1/2 miles away). They are so addicting! Way better than potato chips. There was one item in my CSA box that I had never used before: kohlrabi. Have you tried it or seen it in your grocery stores or farmers markets? It's that knobby, roundish thing with leaves sticking out the top. It can be either pale green or purple in color. And like beets, kohlrabi comes in a whole range of sizes (from egg-sized to softball-sized). The poor humble kohlrabi isn't winning any beauty contests anytime soon. But it certainly is great for eating! Kohlrabi has a mild flavor, similar to cabbage or broccoli stems, and it has a crisp apple-like texture. It can be consumed
