About Chou-rave

Chou-rave, or kohlrabi, is a cultivated cabbage relative eaten chiefly for its swollen above-ground stem. The rounded stem is usually pale green or purple outside and crisp, juicy, and pale inside, with a mild flavour reminiscent of cabbage and turnip.

It is commonly peeled and sliced or grated raw, or cooked in soups, stews, and side dishes. Both green and purple forms are sold; the leaves are also edible, though they are not the same food part as the swollen stem.
