    I think you are the only video I can find on storing kohlrabi. Its so new to the recent generation, very few people have gotten to try its goodness. I had to harvest all mine to clear a bed due to flea beatles. After cooking them and recognizing their firmness, I assumed they could be blanched and frozen but didnt know how. Thanks for your video!!

      I had never had them or heard of them before growing them in my garden now we all love them and it is another hearty plant to grow. Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed it!

    Glad you made this video. I have used kohlrabi In curries…even with pressure cooker and they still hold their firmness. Good for substitute…for potatoes if avoiding nightshades..

    Just got 3 kohlrabi in my veggie box. Glad to know they can be frozen after being blanched for 6 minutes. Thank you.

    Thank you for your video and help! My first time trying to store kohlrabi and didn't know what to do. I also appreciate the dish suggestions! You did a wonderful job in explaining everything clearly. :)

      Thank you! I had no idea what it was or what to do with it until we decide to plant it, lol. Now it is used year around here. Enjoy!

    I grew up with Kohlrabi. They are very common in German stores and dishes. I cannot find them here in TN in the stores so I grow my own. I love eating them raw or just slightly cooked served with a light sauce. Yummy. Thanks for the video!

    • @countrysparkles

      We had never had them before we started growing them either, my kids eat them like apples. 🤩 I will have to look up some German dishes to get more ideas of how to use them.

    Great video. I always freeze veg and fruit on trays first and then into bags so they don’t all stick together. Then I vac pac. That way they last ages and don’t get freezer burn 😄

      Sometimes they can be woody but that more depends on if I have left it in the ground too long I feel like. If they grow big quick and I pick them then they are still yummy.

    I'm the only one in my family that likes Kohlrabi so I grow a small patch for myself. I pull one, wash the root, peel the outer skin and while holding the root, I munch on the firm flesh. Yum.
