[edit] Moved

I moved the article from Kohl Rabi to Kohlrabi, because there are 68,300 Google "Kohlrabi" hits, but only 1,440 "Kohl Rabi"/"Kohl-rabi" hits. [googlefight] --Menchi 01:22, 18 Sep 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Age

I removed the statement that kohlrabi is 4000 years old, because I couldn't find a reference for it, but did find claims that it was only a few hundred years old, or dates to Roman times. It seems unclear, and perhaps not so important. — Pekinensis 02:00, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] little known?

"Kohlrabi is relatively popular in Continental diets, but little-known in the western hemisphere." - which continent? Secretlondon 20:52, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

I removed the statement. It seems quite possible to me that kohlrabi is more used in parts of Europe than in parts of North America, but it is an exaggeration at best and an oversimplification. I see it in the markets all the time and gardeners grow it around here (Oregon). -- WormRunner | Talk 23:20, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
