KOHLRABI

Kohlrabi, also called German turnip or turnip cabbage, is a biennial vegetable, a low, stout cultivar of wild cabbage. It has a crunchy delicate pepper taste similar to turnips and yet mild and slightly sweet like cabbage. It is a low glycemic index food. As a result, it can help improve satiety and glycemic control. As part of a healthy diet, kohlrabi can help improve overall metabolism and aid with weight loss. Because kohlrabi is high in calcium and magnesium, it contributes to stronger bones. It is worth adding to stews, curries, pickles and salads.
