What kind of food is this?
A brassica vegetable in the same family as broccoli. Per 100g: 26kcal, 2.7g protein, and 3.2g fiber.
Vitamin A is only 1µg, so its nutrition differs from the deep-colored vegetables. On the other hand it contains glucosinolates, plant compounds shared across the brassicas. Some of the substances formed from glucosinolates are studied in the body's antioxidant defenses and inflammation pathways.
Far from "white means less nutritious," it is a brassica with its own nutrition and plant compounds, distinct from the deep-colored vegetables.

In food-energetics terms
