German Turnip, or kohlrabi, is a unique biennial vegetable prized for its round, bulbous shape and mild flavor. Available in white and purple varieties, it offers two distinct types: the large, crisp turnip cabbages and the round, sweet, and crunchy kohlrabi. Popular in salads, pickles, and dips, this nutritious vegetable provides vitamins C and A, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids. With its high potassium content promoting heart health and lutein plus vitamin A protecting the eyes, German Turnip is a valuable addition to a balanced diet, also rich in fiber, manganese, and magnesium.
