Where can I buy a kohlrabi in England?!
I am trying to find a kohlrabi in any shops I visit, with no success!. Morrissons, Tesco, Sainsburys, Quicksave, Netto, none of them have it on sale!. also on some local fruit & veggy market, there are none! Why is this vegetable so hard to buy in UK!? It's so tasty and healthy at the same time!. It grows everywhere and is so easy to plant!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
I have heard of kohlrabi, but am not sure what it is like - tell us more!? It is a wonderful sounding word!. Had you thought of writing to Sainsburys etc!? They have quite a good selection of veg, I think, but I'm sure they would respond helpfully, and you might even find the stores start selling kohlrabi as a result of your letters!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
