What to know about kohlrabi

Kohlrabi is the swollen stem of a cabbage, mild and sweet and crunchy, and it is genuinely a low trigger vegetable: nothing on its card reaches the high band. No histamine, no histamine liberator, no gluten, lactose, nightshade, sulfite, nitrite, glutamate or caffeine flag. What it has instead is a row of moderates, with fructans, total FODMAPs, salicylates, oxalate, nickel and fermentability all sitting borderline. That is the profile of a vegetable you can eat regularly at normal portions and only notice at volume, which is a much better deal than most brassicas offer. Compared to its relatives it is the easy one: cauliflower grades high on FODMAPs and polyols, broccoli grades poorly on fermentability and salicylates, and kohlrabi undercuts both.

Watch for

  • Fructans and total FODMAPs rate borderline, which is dose dependent rather than off limits.A few matchsticks in a slaw is a different food to half a bulb shredded into a salad bowl, and the raw shredded version is where people overshoot without noticing.
  • Fermentability rates borderline too, so on a SIBO protocol the roasted or braised version is usually easier to tolerate than the raw crunch at the same weight.
  • Salicylate, oxalate and nickel all sit moderate.Individually minor, but kohlrabi is filling and bland enough that people eat a lot of it, and three moderates in one large portion can add up during an elimination trial.
  • The leaves are not the bulb.Kohlrabi tops are cooked like collards and carry a leafy green profile of their own, so log them as a separate food if you use them.
  • Clean where fermented and preserved vegetables fail: no histamine, no liberator, no glutamate, no sulfite.That makes kohlrabi a good raw base if sauerkraut, pickles and kimchi are what set you off.
