Cabbage kohlrabi: useful properties
Everyone should eat vegetables. Many will say that they do so, but do they eat them in the right quantities? The fact is that for normal functioning the body needs a lot of useful and nutritious substances, which are contained in a variety of products. It is important to know that there is no such wonderful product that would contain everything at once. I write all this to the fact that you can not limit your diet to any specific products (especially standard vegetables and fruits), but it is best to eat and what is not found in every store.
Kolrabi, whose useful properties will be hereuncovered, is a two-year herbaceous plant, which is a variety of white cabbage. From the cabbage we habitually used, kohlrabi, in the first place, is distinguished by the fact that its food is not used for its leaves, but for stems (stems). Kohlrabi, whose useful properties are numerous, is not anything too rare, but you will agree that not every inhabitant of our country has heard of it.
It spread widely in Canada,countries of Western Europe, and also in the USA. It grows pretty fast and is not susceptible to bad weather conditions. All this gives people the opportunity to grow it on Sakhalin, Kamchatka and even in the Far North. If desired, it can be found in stores in almost any city in Russia.
The edible part of it has the form of turnip or ball. In general, it is worth noting here that the kohlrabi cabbage, the useful properties of which we are considering, are very juicy and sweet to the taste. It does not have a characteristic white cabbage sharpness. Sweet kohlrabi is because it contains a lot of sucrose.
