Kohlrabi, known as the "German turnip," is a brassica vegetable closely related to cabbage, broccoli, and kale. Originating from Europe and commonly used in German, Indian, and Southeast Asian cuisines, this bulb-like vegetable is crisp with a mild, slightly sweet flavor reminiscent of a cross between radish and broccoli stem. Rich in essential nutrients, kohlrabi is a powerhouse of vitamin C, potassium, and fiber, making it excellent for supporting immunity, heart health, and digestion. It’s also low in calories, with no cholesterol or saturated fats, making it a great addition to weight management diets. Kohlrabi greens are equally nutritious, packed with vitamin A for healthy vision. It can be enjoyed raw in salads, roasted, stir-fried, or blended into soups. However, individuals with sensitive digestion may wish to moderate intake of brassicas to reduce the potential for bloating. A versatile and nutritious choice, kohlrabi is a gem in healthy eating.
