About Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes (Kohlrabi vegetable chou-rave)

Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes - Kohlrabi vegetable chou-rave  - The taste and texture of kohlrabi are similar to those of a broccoli stem or cabbage heart, but milder and sweeter, with a higher ratio of flesh to skin. The young stem in particular can be as crisp and juicy as an apple, although much less sweet. Spring-grown kohlrabi much over 5 cm in size tend to be woody, as do full-grown kohlrabi much over perhaps 10 cm in size. Coloration is superficial: the edible parts are all pale yellow. The leafy greens can also be eaten.   Family: Brassicaceae
