Kohlrabi is a vegetable in the cabbage family, but looks like a whitish-green turnip. Its name means "German turnip."
It looks similar to a beet, but it is white in the center with light green or purple skin. The taste, to some, is a blend of cabbage and potato. It's actually the swollen stem of a broccoli-like vegetable and grows just above the ground.
There are two main varieties of kohlrabi, white and purple; however, internally, both the "white" (actually light green color) as well as purple types have similar cream-yellow color edible flesh. Some of the popular cultivars of kohlrabi grown worldwide are White Vienna, White Danube, Purple Vienna, and Grand Duke. Kohlrabi has a similar taste and texture as that of a broccoli stem or cabbage, but milder and sweeter.
Although kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea gongylodes) looks like no other vegetable you've ever seen, it's actually a variety (breed or race) of the species Brassica oleracea, to which cabbage, kale, collards, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower also belong.
