History:
Kohlrabi originated in northern Europe and was first documented in 1554, spreading to the Mediterranean, Asia, and the Americas. Its name comes from the German words "kohl" (cabbage) and "rabi" (turnip), reflecting its resemblance to a turnip but its origin from the wild cabbage family (Brassica oleracea). It has been a staple in some cuisines, such as northern India, and was formally mentioned in the U.S. in 1806.

Kohlrabi microgreens have a mild, slightly sweet flavor reminiscent of cabbage, broccoli, and turnip. Some varieties, like the purple kohlrabi, can have a slightly peppery kick, but they are generally not overpowering and are a versatile addition to many dishes.

Kohlrabi microgreens can be used as a fresh, nutritious garnish for countless dishes, adding a mild, sweet crunch to salads, sandwiches, wraps, and soups. They can also be blended into smoothies or used to elevate dishes like avocado toast, veggie bowls, and pasta.
Garnishes: Sprinkle on top of almost any meal for added flavor, texture, and color, such as on top of soups, nachos, or tacos.
Salads and slaws: Add to salads for a fresh element, or use them in place of or in addition to lettuce in coleslaws.
Sandwiches and wraps: Layer them inside to replace lettuce for a mild crunch and pop of color.
