The difference between kohlrabi and kale

There is a difference between the appearance of the two and the parts used for food. Kohlrabi leaves on the short stem, the bottom is sharp, there are oval, lanceolate and other shapes, the edible part is the rhizome. The basal leaves of cabbage are numerous, thick, wrapped in globules and oblate in shape, and the leaves are used as edible parts.

Kohlrabi and kale are introduced as follows:
