Kohlrabiコールラビ · Korurabi · โคลราบิ

Kohlrabi contains high concentrations of glucosinolates, particularly glucoraphanin, which are hydrolyzed into isothiocyanates that exhibit potent anti-carcinogenic and anti-inflammatory activity. Its Vitamin C content is significantly higher than that of most cabbage varieties, acting as a critical antioxidant for collagen synthesis and immune regulation. Additionally, its low glycemic load and high fiber content support glycemic control and digestive health without the bloating often associated with high-FODMAP cruciferous alternatives.
