GlennR Jul 2022 12:02pm, 24 Jul 2022 64,521 posts	0 GlennR Straight from Wikipedia's mouth: "Kohlrabi (pronounced /koʊlˈrɑːbi/; scientific name Brassica oleracea Gongylodes Group), also called German turnip, is a biennial vegetable, a low, stout cultivar of wild cabbage. It is another cultivar of the same species as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, Savoy cabbage, and gai lan."
