Kohlrabi processing involves the systematic handling and preparation of kohlrabi, a nutrient-rich vegetable known for its bulbous stem and leafy greens. Scientifically classified as Brassica oleracea, kohlrabi is a member of the cabbage family and is valued for its mild, sweet flavor and crisp texture. Processing begins with harvesting mature kohlrabi bulbs, which are then washed thoroughly to remove dirt and impurities. The outer skin is peeled, and the vegetable is trimmed for further processing. Both the bulb and the tender leaves are utilized for various culinary and commercial purposes. In addition to fresh consumption, kohlrabi undergoes processing for products such as pre-cut vegetables, frozen kohlrabi, dehydrated chips, and pickles. The vegetable is also incorporated into ready-to-eat meals and vegetable blends. Advanced cutting and peeling technologies ensure uniformity and reduce wastage. After peeling, kohlrabi is often cubed, sliced, or grated depending on its intended use. Rapid cooling or blanching may follow to maintain freshness and extend shelf life.
The demand for processed kohlrabi is driven by increasing consumer preference for convenient, ready-to-cook vegetables. The rise in urbanization, busy lifestyles, and the growing popularity of plant-based diets further contribute to market growth. Processed kohlrabi is widely distributed through supermarkets, online grocery platforms, and food service providers. Additionally, the vegetable’s low-calorie content and high nutritional value, including vitamins C and B6, fiber, and antioxidants, enhance its appeal among health-conscious consumers.
