A rutabaga.
[ ROO-tuh-bay-guh ] This cabbage-family root vegetable resembles a large (3
to 5 inches in diameter) TURNIP and, in fact, is thought to be a cross
between cabbage and TURNIP. The name comes from the Swedish rotabagge,
which is why this vegetable is also called a Swede or Swedish TURNIP.
Rutabagas have a thin, pale yellow skin and a slightly sweet, firm flesh of
the same color. There is also a white variety but it is not generally
commercially available. This root vegetable is available year-round with a
peak season of July through April. Choose those that are smooth, firm and
heavy for their size. Rutabagas can be refrigerated in a plastic bag for up
to 2 weeks. They may be prepared in any way suitable for TURNIPs.
Rutabagas, which are a CRUCIFEROUS vegetable, contain small amounts of
vitamins A and C.
That's Vance all over.
