Kohlrabi Takes Center Stage as the Cool-Weather Superfood of the Season
Kohlrabi is gaining popularity in kitchens, markets, and restaurants. This versatile vegetable thrives in cool weather and delivers a crisp texture with a mild, sweet taste. Rich in essential nutrients, it has become a go-to ingredient for winter dishes and beyond.
Kohlrabi belongs to the Brassica family, alongside cabbage, broccoli, and kale. Botanically known as Brassica oleracea, it grows best in spring and autumn, when temperatures stay cool. Its origins trace back to Europe, though no single country claims its exact beginnings. For centuries, it has been widely cultivated in northern and western parts of the continent.
As kohlrabi appears more frequently in markets and online food spaces, its versatility continues to attract cooks and diners. The vegetable’s ability to grow quickly in cool weather ensures a steady supply of fresh produce. Its nutritional value and adaptability in recipes make it a practical choice for seasonal eating.
