Fresh Consumption of Kohlrabi

Brassica oleracea L. (Kohlrabi Group)

Fresh consumption of kohlrabi relies on the use of its succulent stem tuber, which features a crisp texture and a mild, sweet flavor.

In the reference 51 varieties crop Kohlrabi, where this is mentioned in the description.

Young stem tubers with a diameter of 5–8 cm are most suitable for fresh consumption. If this size is exceeded, the flesh begins to coarsen, becoming fibrous and woody, which reduces the culinary appeal of the product. Before consumption, the stem tuber should be peeled to remove the skin and the adjacent tough layer of fibers.

Unlike other brassica crops, kohlrabi lacks pronounced bitterness or pungency, making it an excellent base for fresh salads. A high concentration of vitamin C and the easy digestibility of its fiber make varieties intended for the fresh market highly dependent on rapid maturation and resistance of the flesh to lignification.
