MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 20/52 of 2022
Dear CSA Members,
This week’s box has one of spring's most interesting looking vegetables - kohlrabi! You may be like what in the world are these alien creatures that have found their way into my box, we are here to help you understand how to prep, cook, and enjoy these spring treats.
Kohlrabi is easy to grow, quick to harvest, and delicious on the plate - perfect for planting back early in the season and able to withstand the insane temperature fluctuations we've experienced this spring. Kohlrabi is sweet and crunchy and related to other brassics, like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale and brussel sprouts. It's delicious raw, steamed, and/or roasted and is similar in taste to broccoli stems but with a bit of peppery sweetness. We hope you enjoy them while they’re here! We’ve included plenty of recipes below, and are, as always, here to offer inspiration if you need it.
Enjoy your shares this week,
Grace
