Typically the round part, the bulb, is used. The larger ones tend to have thicker skins so need to be peeled but with the smaller ones there is no need. It can be eaten raw or used in stir-fries or steamed. The leaves can also be used as well. They can be cooked like collard leaves or used in raw in salads.
