This veggie is related to cabbage, and the young, small ones are as juicy as an apple, albeit not as sweet. It tastes kind of like the young center of the cabbage, and perhaps mildly like broccoli stems, but it's much sweeter than those.In Hungary we have spicy versions as well. One serving (3.5 oz-100g) has more vitamin C than the daily requirement according to the FDA, and it's also high in dietary fiber.
The interesting thing is that while I love eating this raw, cooking it brings out a particular favor that I strongly dislike. So, if you are planning on giving this a shot, try it both ways...maybe you will also prefer the fresh fruit...oh, sorry, technically it's a vegetable :-)
Tastes like cabbage. I like cabbage.
