You can eat both the stem and the leaves of this cruciferous vegetable and you can eat it raw or cooked. They are normally green in colour, but c nalo be found a red or purple colour. They all taste the same though. They are very versatile and you can roast them, make in to chips, create a soup etc. The name comes from the German Kohl ("cabbage") and Rabi (Swiss German) for turnip.
