new veggies

Well, new to me.

Purple kohlrabi has a distinctly different taste than the regular kind. I'm told it's also good for diabetes, but I take that sort of thing with a grain of salt.

Anyway, raw the leaves remind me of beet leaves. And the raw tuber is somewhat radish-ey in taste ([personal profile] fayanora hates it raw). Tastes somewhat different cooked, but still nice.

I finally got around to trying daikon a week or so back. I was afraid it'd be really strong. Nope. Definitely a radish taste, but quite manageable.

A standard snack for me now is a few slice of cucumber and a few slices of daikon. Plain or drip some dressing on he slices. MMM.
