Let's talk about kohlrabi!

The word "kohlrabi" is German for "cabbage turnip". Unlike a turnip, kohlrabi is not a root vegetable, it grows above the ground. It's a brassica, which means it's more like cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower.

You can eat kohlrabi raw or cooked, and it tastes almost like a broccoli stalk, just a tad sweeter. You can shred it and use it in coleslaw, or simply remove the tough outer layer, slice it up, and eat it 😀

It might look a little unusual, but don't let that stop you! Kohlrabi is crunchy, versatile, and easier to use than you might think...plus, it's delicious!

Have you ever tried kohlrabi before? What's your favorite way to eat it?

We are incredibly grateful for community partners like PicknPull Used Auto Parts in Arlington!

Their Summer Food Bank Drive raised an amazing $3,600 from community members, and Pick-n-Pull is matching those donations! We are so thankful to everyone who chose to support their neighbors right here in our community.

Support like this makes a real difference, especially during a time when the need for food assistance continues to be high. Every dollar helps us keep food on our shelves for families who might need a little extra support.

A huge THANK YOU to the entire Pick-n-Pull Arlington team, their customers, and everyone who helped make this possible. We are grateful for your generosity, your partnership, and your commitment to our community. 💚

We couldn't do any of this without you!
