Kohlrabi is a unique and versatile vegetable belonging to the cabbage family. Its name comes from the German words “kohl” (cabbage) and “rabi” (turnip), reflecting its turnip-like swollen stem. Originally cultivated in Europe around the 16th century, kohlrabi quickly spread across the world and is now valued for both its crisp texture and mild, sweet flavor.

The edible swollen stem resembles a bulb but is tender and juicy, with a taste often described as a cross between cabbage and a mild broccoli stem. Both the stem and the young leaves are edible—perfect for raw salads, stir-fries, curries, or even simple steaming.
