HEALTH BENEFITS OF KOHLRABI/ KNOL KHOL

Kohlrabi's taste and texture are similar to that of broccoli stem or cabbage heart, but milder and sweeter , with a ratio of flesh to skin.

Eating kohlrabi is a good way to get some of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of vitamins, minerals, without going overboard on calorie intake.

Kohlrabi's immunity boosting capabilities can be attributed to its Vitamin C content. A cup of raw kohlrabi contains approximately 140 % of the RDA for Vitamin C. A strong immune system is vital in preventing all kinds of diseases- common cold to cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Not only does Vitamin C contribute to a healthy immune system, but it also assists in improving iron absorption and helps in regenerating the Vitamin E supply.

Kohlrabi is an excellent source of dietary fibre. For 1 cup of serving size, it has approximately   5 gms of dietary fibre, which is 19 % of the required RDA. A cup of raw kohlrabi contains 14 % of the RDA for potassium, which helps with muscle and nerve functions. It also assists in storing carbohydrates, which are used as fuel by the muscles.
