Kohlrabi means 'cabbage turnip'. It dates back to the 16th century and was first developed in Northern Europe. It belongs to the large cruciferous family along with cabbage, broccoli and brussel sprouts. Kohlrabi tastes similar to a turnip but is milder and sweeter. There are two types of Kohlrabi. One is pale green, the other purple. It looks like a root vegetable but it is actually a bulbous stem with leaf stalks sprouting from one end.
