Someone asked me about these today. I've never heard of them? I briefly looked them up. Are they similar to turnips?

    I typically eat them in cubes, steamed or roasted. I find the taste to be kind of like a combination of broccoli and potato, I really enjoy it. I think it would be tasty as a noodle.

    Personally, I think the closest to kohlrabi is the core from cabbage: Crispy but not tough, a hint of spiciness (mild radish-type spiciness, not like hot peppers or horseradish), otherwise fairly neutral vegetal taste. I like them raw.

    If the noodles are just a cut of the raw veg, analogous to zucchini or winter squash "noodles", it seems like they'd be good.

    If it's kohlrabi dried, powdered into regular pasta shapes, I have no guess what it'd be like.

    I had them in a stirfry last week and they were good. @AnnPT77 , they were like zucchini or winter squash noodles, except that those are more like spaghetti and the kohlrabi (probably because the bulbs are usually turnip-sized or so) were more like these: https://pastafits.org/pasta-shapes/pappardelle/ but cut to the lengths you'd probably expect to find in soup. I used a sweet and sour sauce and threw them in during the last 3 minutes or so.

    where did you purchase them?

    Generally... most grocery stores when in season.
