Many people are haunted by childhood memories of cauliflower. And it is a fact that only a very small percentage of students were willing to try any food made from this vegetable. In the following article, however, we will try to change that mindset, because believe us, it is possible to create wonders from this stepmotherly plant, and it is no coincidence that it has been included in our spring/summer menu. So we recommend ourselves and of course the divine stuffed kohlrabi.
Vegetables usually have a well-defined origin, but this is not the case for kohlrabi. Its exact origins are still unclear, but all the signs point to the fact that it may have been a cross between wild cabbage and turnips, and its characteristics are that it is cold-resistant, easy to grow, and requires little care, except for one thing: it needs a lot of water. Although we only eat the tubers of kohlrabi compared to cabbage, its leaves contain many more nutrients, so let's look at what they are.
Cauliflower, although you might not think it, is a superfood, which means it contains large amounts of nutrients that are vital for the human body and easy to process. A member of the cabbage family, the plant contains more vitamin C than lemons or any citrus fruit, as incredible as that sounds! Experts say that eating it raw can provide up to 100 grams of vitamin C a day. And the list doesn't end there, as the number of vitamins and other substances that are beneficial to our body is almost endless. For example, it contains folate, vitamins B1, B3, B5, B6 and vitamin E. It is also rich in antioxidants, including manganese, isothiocyanates, polyphenols and glucosinolates, in addition to vitamin C and vitamin E. But the list goes on: manganese, phosphorus, copper, calcium, iron, chlorophyll, magnesium, iodine, proteins and a minimum of sugar. In addition, it is important to mention its vitalising effect, which means that it provides a much better feeling of well-being, freshness and energy within a short time after consumption.
Another good news for dieters and dieters is that it is not fattening, as it is very low in calories and is fat and cholesterol free.
And as for the specific effects of kohlrabi on the human body, here is a not too short list, without being exhaustive: it has a detoxifying effect, protects the heart and blood vessels, prevents cancer and high blood pressure, improves blood sugar levels, which helps to avoid diabetes, but also protects bones and is particularly good for the human eye.
So we hope that the above has convinced some of you to give this truly unusual vegetable another chance. As we mentioned in the introduction to this article, kohlrabi has made its way onto our restaurant's spring/summer menu, and in no small way. Our stuffed kohlrabi is served with garam masala, mashed turnips, fermented kohlrabi, bulgur and pistachios, but you can also order thyme chicken breast, grilled tofu or stir-fried seasonal vegetables for vegetarians.
