Have you ever eaten kohlrabi? It's the remedy for winter aches and illnesses, refreshing in summer. Kohlrabi doesn't have a Turkish name yet. I first saw it at the Marmaris market in Turkey; I asked its name, they said "we don't know." It's now possible to find kohlrabi in all markets. I have loved it since my childhood.
