Refreshingly light and versatile, the edible bulb of Kohlrabi is not actually a root like the turnip but instead is a bulb that develops just above the ground. Not having the sharp bite like that of a turnip, raw Kohlrabi is much more mild, sweet and juicier. Kohlrabi has a delicate mustard and cabbage flavor and offers a crisp texture similar to jicama or celery.
