Kohlrabi is more of an unknown cruciferous vegetable. Its flavor is similar to a broccoli stalk, but crispier and lighter. It is delicious added to salads or eaten raw as a snack. All you need to do is peel and enjoy! Kohlrabi leaves can be used in place of kale in salads or smoothies, and can be used to make "wraps" with your favorite fillings.

A "detoxification diet" is actually something you can do everyday by incorporating certain foods into your diet. Think of it as an inclusion diet where the focus is to bring in a variety of detoxification-supporting foods each day. Kohlrabi is an excellent food to support detoxification! It is a cruciferous vegetable like broccoli, cabbage, radishes, and kale, and it's part of the Brassicaceae family of vegetables. Cruciferous vegetables contain compounds that can upregulate biotransformation pathways in order to transform and excrete toxins.

Make this easy, healing soup during cold and flu season. It's packed with allium-family vegetables like garlic, leeks, and onions! Add as much grated ginger as you can tolerate. I like to use a microplane grater to quickly and easily grate the fresh ginger. It's best to use a homemade vegetable stock or homemade chicken broth as it will give the soup a really nice depth of flavor.
