EverydayFresh

Rutabaga is a hearty root vegetable characterized by its large, round shape and purple-tinged yellow exterior. Often confused with turnips, rutabagas are generally larger and sweeter, with a complex flavor that combines earthy and slightly peppery notes. This nutrient-dense vegetable is particularly rich in vitamin C and potassium, and can be enjoyed raw, roasted, mashed, or added to soups and stews for a satisfying, low-calorie addition.
