On the Health Benefits of Kohlrabi .... "Kohlrabi … the name alone sounds kind of exotic and intimidating. Is it a car? Is it a city? Nope, it’s a vegetable! Correct pronunciation: coal-ROB-ee. Kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea) is technically a form of cabbage. It’s native to Europe and is sometimes called a “German turnip.”

​ Kohlrabi is a great source of protein, Vitamin C, Potassium, Vitamin B6, Phosphorus, Folate, Thiamine, and Calcium.
