What looks like a turnip, is named after a turnip, but isn’t a turnip at all? Kohlrabi, also known as the German turnip (again, not a turnip)!

An integral part of German and Indian cuisine, this easy-growing member of the cabbage family is gaining popularity on this side of the pond for its versatility in the kitchen and its rich nutritional profile.

 
A classically healthy cruciferous vegetable, kohlrabi is an excellent source of vitamin C, is rich in vitamin B6, and is a good source of potassium and fiber.
 

Kohlrabi Recipes

 
Part bulbous stem, part totally edible leafy greens, kohlrabi tastes like a milder, slightly sweeter broccoli stem with all the crispy crunch of a fresh apple. Remove the rough, fibrous outer layer of the stem and steam, roast, blend into a soup, or serve kohlrabi raw in salads and slaws.
