High in antioxidants

Kohlrabi is high in antioxidants such as vitamin C, anthocyanins, isothiocyanates, and glucosinolates. These plant components protect your cells from free radical damage, which can raise your risk of illness. Diets rich in antioxidant-rich vegetables, such as kohlrabi, have been linked to a lower incidence of diabetes, metabolic illness, and premature mortality.

Purple kohlrabi skin contains a high concentration of anthocyanins, a kind of flavonoid that gives plants and fruits their red, purple, or blue color. Anthocyanin consumption has been related to a decreased risk of heart disease and may possibly help cognitive function. Kohlrabi is high in isothiocyanates and glucosinolates, both of which are potent antioxidants linked to a decreased risk of some malignancies, heart disease, and inflammation.
