SERVING SIZE
Calories by portion and serving weight
Words such as “small,” “medium,” “half” and “one piece” are convenient but imprecise. Grams make the estimate reproducible, particularly when natural foods vary in size.

FOOD STATE MATTERS
How preparation changes the nutrition estimate
A reliable calorie entry should describe the food you actually ate—not merely a food with a similar name.
Raw bulb
Selected reference.
Leaves
Log separately from the bulb.
Boiled
Use a cooked record and match salt state.
Roasted or slaw
Log oil, dressing and other ingredients.
PRACTICAL CONTEXT
How raw kohlrabi can fit different goals
There is no universal “good” or “bad” food. Portion, frequency, the rest of the meal, preferences and individual health needs all matter.
Portion math
At 27 kcal per 100 g, the 16 g example is 4.3 kcal.
Fibre check
The selected record lists 3.6 g fibre per 100 g.
Protein check
The selected record lists 1.7 g protein per 100 g.
Best logging move
Use trimmed edible bulb weight and keep leaves, dressing and cooking fat separate.
QUALITY & SAFETY
How to choose, store and prepare it
Store
Keep whole kohlrabi chilled and reasonably dry.
After opening or cooking
Keep cut pieces covered and chilled.
Prepare
Rinse and trim before use with clean utensils.
Safety boundary
Discard slimy or extensively decayed produce; the nutrient record does not establish storage duration.
PHOTO LOGGING
How to log raw kohlrabi more accurately
A food photo can suggest the ingredient, but it cannot always reveal exact weight, hidden oil or preparation details. These checks turn an image guess into a better estimate.
- 01
Match the exact reference state: Kohlrabi, raw.
- 02
Use edible grams. Calories are scaled from the selected per-100-g record; named portion weights come from the same local USDA record, while explicitly labelled gram examples are calculated.
- 03
Log oil, sauce, sweetener, salt and recipe ingredients separately.
- 04
Use a separate record when preparation changes the food state.
