Did you know?
Kohlrabi means “cabbage turnip” in German—“kohl” (cabbage) + “rübe” (turnip).
It’s a cultivar of wild cabbage, like broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts.
Rich in glucosinolates, which are being studied for their potential anti-cancer properties.
Popular in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as India, where it’s used in curries.
The leaves are edible too, and taste like mild kale or collard greens.
Drawback
High fiber can cause gas or bloating in some people if eaten in large amounts.
Can be mildly bitter if over-mature or not peeled properly.
The skin can be tough, especially on larger bulbs—best to peel it.
