A member of the brassica family, which includes cabbage, broccoli, and kale, this unassuming vegetable, with its bulbous shape and crisp texture, boasts a subtle sweetness that sets it apart from its cruciferous counterparts. When it comes to kohlrabi benefits, this veg is rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber making it a nutritional powerhouse that deserves more attention, which it seems to finally be getting.<\/p>\n<p>As food trends continue to evolve, kohlrabi&#8217;s unique qualities and culinary flexibility have contributed to its increased presence in kitchens and on menus, elevating it from an overlooked vegetable to a celebrated ingredient.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile it\u2019s widely consumed in Europe and Asia, kohlrabi has just started to gain more interest in the U.S. due to its unique look and delicious taste,\u201d says New York-based registered dietitian <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mindfulmom.nutrition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mindfulmom.nutrition\/\">Samina Kalloo, RDN, CDN<\/a>. But beyond being a tasty addition to many recipes, kohlrabi is packed with nutrition, making it a smart choice for our overall health as well. Learn all about what this lesser-known veggie is, how it benefits our health, and ways to use it in the kitchen, here!<\/p>\n<h2>What is kohlrabi?<\/h2>\n<p>While often referred to as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/aggie-hort.tamu.edu\/archives\/parsons\/publications\/vegetabletravelers\/kohlrabi.html\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/aggie-hort.tamu.edu\/archives\/parsons\/publications\/vegetabletravelers\/kohlrabi.html\">German turnip<\/a>,\u201d kohlrabi is not part of the root veggie family. However, it\u2019s no wonder it acquired this nickname as the word kohlrabi comes directly from the German language, with \u201ckohl\u201d translating to cabbage and \u201crabi\u201d to turnip. Despite its bulbous, root-looking appearance, adorned with leafy shoots, kohlrabi (scientific name <em>Brassica oleracea<\/em>, variety <em>gongylodes<\/em>) is a member of the brassica vegetable family just like broccoli, kale, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts. The entire plant grows above ground and its globe, shoots, and leaves are all edible. The exterior of this alien-like veggie can be either green or purple, though some varieties have white or even blue skin. Regardless of the skin color, the interior will always be off-white, similar to a parsnip.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline text-h5 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/kohlrabi-benefits\/\" current-title=\"6 Delicious Reasons To Love Kohlrabi, According to an RD\" current-image=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/GettyImages-1396200942-425x285_418x278_true_70.webp\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2023-07-06\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/kohlrabi-benefits\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/kohlrabi-benefits\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/kohlrabi-benefits\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>From kohlrabi, you can expect a mild, slightly sweet flavor with a hint of pepper and notes of broccoli and cabbage. With a satisfying crunchy texture, it can be enjoyed either raw or cooked, but cooking will soften its texture significantly. And while the kohlrabi growing season varies depending on location, it\u2019s generally considered to be a cooler weather veggie, harvested during early spring, fall, or winter\u2014though you\u2019ll often find it at summer farmers markets as many grow it during the warmer months, too. Your best bet for finding it at the grocery store is usually during fall or winter; however, as this vegetable grows in popularity, more and more supermarkets are carrying it year-round.<\/p>\n<h2>6 kohlrabi benefits to keep in mind<\/h2>\n<p>Thanks to its <a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/168424\/nutrients\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/168424\/nutrients\">robust nutrition profile<\/a>, kohlrabi has so much to offer.

Prebiotics are food for our healthy gut bacteria, helping the microbiome, a community of trillions of microorganisms in the large intestine, thrive. The gut microbiome is intricately linked with not only our gut health but our immune and overall health as well.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the water in kohlrabi helps food to move more easily through our GI tract while enabling fiber to function appropriately and clear out waste.<\/p>\n<h3>Encourages brain health<\/h3>\n<p>Through the support of the gut microbiome, kohlrabi also promotes better brain health. This is because the health of the gut and brain are closely related through a connection called the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/gut-bacteria-and-mental-health\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/gut-bacteria-and-mental-health\/\">gut-brain axis<\/a>.

Also, kohlrabi\u2019s vitamin B6 is a significant contributor to neurotransmitter creation.

At the farmers market or grocery store, look for a kohlrabi bulb that feels heavy in your hands, is free of cracks or bruising, and shows no sign of mildew or rot.<\/p>\n<p>While some kohlrabi will be sold only as a bulb, those with their stems and leaves attached are a better buy as these parts of the plant are both nutritious and delicious\u2014just make sure the stems and leaves aren\u2019t showing any signs of wilting. And, as with many other veggies, the smaller the kohlrabi, the more tender its texture, which is optimal for raw applications.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of storage, ideally, you want to separate the bulb from the leaves and stems as they have different shelf lives. The kohlrabi bulb will stay fresh in a resealable bag in the fridge for anywhere between seven and 10 days, while the leaves and stems should also be stored in a resealable bag with a paper towel, though they\u2019ll only stay fresh for three to five days. You can chop the bulb and store it in an airtight container for up to a year in the freezer as well.<\/p>\n<p>When prepping this veggie, you can either keep the skin on or remove it if it looks tough after washing. However, if the skin isn\u2019t too thick or you\u2019ll be cooking your kohlrabi, leave it on as it\u2019s super nutrient-dense. For raw preparation, kohlrabi makes for the perfect crunchy salad or slaw ingredient and is excellent as crudit\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, cooked kohlrabi is a delicious soup, stew, or stir-fry addition. Both the bulb and stems and leaves can be either roasted, sauteed, or grilled with garlic and chili for a savory side dish. You can even spiralize the bulb of kohlrabi for a low-carb pasta swap or smash it up with butter and milk for a potato-free mash.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it&#8217;s the culinary potential or impressive health benefits of kohlrabi that\u2019s grabbed your attention, there are so many delectable reasons to give this brassica a try, so don&#8217;t let its unusual shape put you off. \u201cKohlrabi looks more intimidating than it is to cook,&#8221; Kalloo says. &#8220;You\u2019ll be pleasantly surprised by its mild, yet tasty flavor and how simple it is to prepare.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"block-thin post-citations mt-[40px] mb-[30px]\" data-module-init=\"main-2020\/post-citations\" data-module-immediate=\"true\">\n<hr class=\"!border-seafoam-dark mb-[24px]\"\/>\n<div class=\"post-citations-content flex flex-col gap-[24px]\">\n<p>Well+Good articles reference scientific, reliable, recent, robust studies to back up the information we share.
