About Kohlrabi

Kohlrabi, also known as German turnip, is a unique vegetable belonging to the Brassica oleracea species, placing it in the same family as cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower. Despite its name, it's not a root vegetable; the edible part is the swollen stem, which grows above ground. Kohlrabi boasts a mild, slightly sweet flavor reminiscent of turnip or cabbage, often described as having a crisp, refreshing taste similar to the heart of broccoli. It's rich in vitamins and fiber, making it a healthy addition to any diet. Commonly used in salads, slaws, stir-fries, and roasted dishes, kohlrabi is a versatile ingredient with a distinctive appearance and appealing flavor.

Size Overview

A typical kohlrabi bulb measures approximately 70mm in width, 70mm in height, and 70mm in length, which translates to 7.0cm in all dimensions. Imagine a small, nearly perfect sphere – that's roughly the size of a standard kohlrabi. It's about the size of a tennis ball or a slightly smaller orange, easily fitting in the palm of your hand. Understanding the dimensions of a kohlrabi is helpful whether you're planning a garden, preparing a recipe, or simply curious about this unique vegetable.
