A German word meaning.. Kohl - Cabbage : Rabi - Turnip.Not a common vegetable and one that is very much underestimated. It looks like it should be a root vegetable with it's bulbous nature but it is actually a member of the cruciferous family (cabbages).
Similar in taste to a turnip though milder and sweeter, Kohlrabi is very high in Vitamin C, particularly if eaten raw. It has good amounts of Magnesium and Phosphorus too which both aid in the absorption of Calcium.
I have seen recipes that Chop, Roast, Mash, Grate, Bake & Steam so it seems that the culinary uses of this vegetable are endless.
Right.. time to start experimenting! :)
