The Wonders of Biodiversity

Kohlrabi was the name of the plant we experimented with. Being a commonly eaten vegetable in German speaking countries, it is very similar to a cabbage heart or broccoli stem. It can be eaten raw or cooked. There are several varieties, such as White Vienna, Purple Vienna, Grand Duke, Purple Danube, and White Danube. Kohlrabi is artificially selected for lateral meristem growth. Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, collard greens, and brussels sprouts are all in its origin of nature. The offspring coming from these plants will have a spherical shape and green leaves.
