When is it "pick-perfect"?
Kohlrabi is ready to harvest when the bulb reaches 2-3 inches in diameter, usually around 6-8 weeks after planting. The bulb should feel firm and crisp.
​
How to Harvest:
-
Use a sharp knife to cut the stem about 1 inch above the bulb.
-
Wash the bulb thoroughly to remove any dirt.
Storage:
-
Kohlrabi bulbs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Remove the leaves before storing to prolong freshness.
-
Store the leaves separately in a plastic bag in the refrigerator and use them within a few days, as they wilt quickly.
