Kohlrabi is a cultivar of cabbage and is a member of the Brassica family along with cauliflower, broccoli, kale, collard greens and Brussels sprouts. The taste is similar to the broccoli but sweeter and milder. There are several varieties but most commonly seen in our stores are the light green and purple varieties. The leafy greens can also be eaten. Some cultures eat this every day. A one-cup serving of kohlrabi has about 30 calories and offers almost 4 grams of fiber. In addition, it is an excellent source of vitamin C.
This vegetable may be eaten raw or added to soups or stews.
A quick and delicious appetizer, peel the kohlrabi and then slice it thinly. Eat it plain or with with creamy white bean dip or hummus.
