Broccoli comes from wild mustard, which flowers in order to reproduce.
In fact, many vegetables come from just that single plant - we’ve cultivated it in so many ways for so many years, we’ve got some very distinct varieties:
Raw, it’s a little spicy, similar to radishes. Boiled, it’s very sweet. It can take the place of carrots and turnips in soups.
The simplest preparation that’ll give you an idea of how the ingredients tastes on its own: cut into thin slices and boil in water with a bit of salt and msg (I personally like to use chicken stock).
The outer layer is very tough and fibrous, so make sure to get rid of that first. Depending on the quality of the bulb, you might also end up with one that’s fibrous throughout. Those are not pleasant to eat, and if you happen to get one of those, I assure you that it’s not a typical experience.

I once had someone accuse me of being bourgeoisie for eating Brussels sprouts.
That’s not why you’re bougie
It’s because of the light-up sneakers, isn’t it?
It’s because of your monocle and top hat.
You should’ve been eating cabbage like a good proletariat /s
So what is kohlrabi? Is it good? How do you eat/cook it?

Better than Brussels sprouts. Anything is better than that hell.
The sprouts actually taste better if you lightly blacken them, like asparagus. It’s one of the weird veggies where you go a little past maillard.
You can eat it cooked or raw, I personally prefer raw as a refreshing sweet snack.
It’s basically like a milder/sweeter turnip.
You eat it with your mouth, someone else will be along to tell you how to cook it
No I don’t. Hence the questions
So then if I eat mustard, I don’t have to eat the rest of that stuff?
