So, here’s the outcome of the previous post on Instagram! The purple vegetable is called purple Kohlrabi,this vegetable has more vitamin C than orange! These were all the vegetables I could find in my fridge so you can do your own version as well! I made my own vegetable broth with these mixed vegetables for the risotto. 👊

Health benefits of …Kohlrabi

Kohlrabi, pronounced ‘cole-rah-bee’ is part of the cabbage family. The name translates as ‘turnip cabbage’ and the mild, sweet flavour is somewhere between a turnip and a waterchestnut, with a crisp, crunchy texture. It can be found in two colours, pale green and the less common purple. Kohlrabi is a hardy, annual vegetable that is primarily consumed in Germanic countries.

Kohlrabi is so highly valued in countries and cuisines around the world not only for its diversity in cooking applications, but also because it is full of nutrients and minerals like copper, potassium, manganese, iron, and calcium, as well as vitamins, such as vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, vitamin A, and vitamin K. Along with that, kohlrabi is also high in dietary fiber and antioxidant compounds, such as phytochemicals and various carotenes.
