Kohlrabi Apple Sunflower Sprout Salad
Looking for something totally new? Try this kohlrabi apple sunflower sprout salad.
What is kohlrabi?!
This root vegetable is one that I usually pass by at the produce aisle without giving it a second look, but it’s actually worth a try. It is part of the cabbage, Brussel sprouts, broccoli family, and we all know that anything within the broccoli family is loaded with health benefits.
Full of fiber, which is incredible for your digestion system. Just a few servings of kohlrabi will help move bowels along.
Low in calories: great news if you are watching your calorie intake and trying to lose extra pounds.
Energy: because of all the vitamins and minerals packed into this vegetable, it gives you a lot of real energy to help you throughout your day.
Bone health: Bones get weaker over time, which is why older adults are prone to break bones more easily. A great way to keep your bones healthier for longer is to eat foods that are mineral-rich, like Kohlrabi.
Easy to prepare: It can be eaten raw or cooked.
