Do you know where kohlrabi comes from? The term was born in the French language in 1600. In Latin, caulo-rapa means "turnip cabbage" and gongylodes means "knees" alluding to the kneeling position from the bulbous part of the plant to the ground. Some places call it “colrave” or “headed cabbage”. Kohlrabi is not a root per se but rather a swelling of the stem. In botanical parlance it is said to be an aerial tuber.
