Kohlrabi in the food context refers to a type of vegetable that belongs to the brassica family, which also includes cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower. Its name comes from the German words for cabbage ("Kohl") and turnip ("Rabi"), reflecting its appearance and taste, which resemble a cross between a turnip and a cabbage stem. Kohlrabi can be eaten both raw and cooked and comes in green or purple varieties, although the flesh inside is usually pale green or white.
