Do you know what this vegetable is?
This beauty is purple kohlrabi. It is a member of the Brassica family, which also includes the vegetables cabbage, broccoli and kale. Nutritionally, it is a very good source of dietary fiber, Vitamins B6 and C, Potassium, Copper and Manganese. Kohlrabi may be eaten either raw or cooked. Here are some recipes you may want to try.
I bet you didn’t think there were so many things you could do with kohlrabi, eh?
