Promote a healthy gut

Kohlrabi is high in both soluble and insoluble fiber. The former is water-soluble and aids in the maintenance of normal blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Insoluble fiber, on the other hand, is not broken down in your colon, so it adds volume to your stool and promotes regular bowel movements.

Furthermore, fiber is the primary fuel source for beneficial gut bacteria such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli. These bacteria create short-chain fatty acids, which fuel your gut cells and may protect you from heart disease and obesity. Healthy gut flora may also be linked to a stronger immune system and a decreased risk of obesity and bowel illness.
