Kohl Rabi

Redirected from Kohlrabi

Kohl rabi (Brassica oleracea L.) is a low, stout biennial that originated in Germany around 4,000 years ago and is a member of the cabbage family (Gongylodes group). It is a cabbage that was selected for its swollen stems - in German 'kohl' is cabbage and 'rabi' is turnip and it is so called because it has cabbage-like leaves and a turnip-like bulb above ground.

Varieties include White Vienna and Purple Vienna.
