Kohlrabi are weighed with the root removed, also any dead, rotten, or unsound leaves must be removed. Don't know about the radishes.

I can only agree concerning the kohlrabi. Sound leaves stay on and the root is taken off.
Do you have a big one? Did you weigh it?

It's my understanding that no root no stems or leaves are allowed. Trim stems as near to the bulb as possible. It's the bulb you eat. That's how we do it here in Alaska and I believe that's what Guinness wants. Go to the Alaska State Fair web site and check out the new unofficial kohlrabi world record bulb 63.95. Spudley.
