The word "kohlrabi" is translated from German as "cabbage turnip". This cabbage is healthier than cauliflower and white cabbage. It contains a lot of vitamins (especially vitamin C), proteins, carbohydrates, mineral salts, and contains as much calcium as in milk, cheese and eggs. For cooking, use the thickened spherical lower part of the kohlrabi stem. The most delicious are young stems, the grown-up ones are coarser in taste. Kohlrabi stems are boiled, baked, fried and even dried.
