I eat the leaves (steamed) or chop them up and feed them to the girls. And yes, the more purple veggies I can grow, the happier I am! Which reminds me, time to start the eggplant seeds.Or the leaves, too? It's all edible...

The bulb, the leaves are steamed or fed to the chickens.
So CW doesn't do anything with the stems? The stems might all weigh more than the bulb

You need to peel them, Pac. Which means the weird twisty things come off too, and you peel the bulb. They're thin skinned, unlike jicama, which is a root, but also needs to be peeled and has more of a turnip-like skin. Think of peeling broccoli stems, or the bottom of asparagus spears, that kind of skin.
I'd never heard of eating the stems, but what the heck, why not?
I only eat kohlrabi raw. I never think of cooking them. We grow the purple ones in the summer (and some green ones). Grated they are great as a slaw.
