Dani, very informative except----THAT WAS NOT A RUTABAGA!!!!!!! that was a turnip!! 2 different vegtables.

Fact: size does not effect taste

Fact: a Rutabaga is not a cross between anything- it is one of only 2 native Canadian Vegtables

What you had was a Turnip-smaller than a Rutabaga, diff size, diff colour, totally diff taste.

I am not sure who told you that you had Rutabagas, but you received bad info.

@MrErnewein Really? This veggie is labeled Rutababga round here but you are not the first person to bring this to my attention! I thnk I may have to go back and delve a little deeper into my veggie research... thanks for the heads up:)

I've walked by the rutabaga many times wondering what that strange looking veg was? Awesome.

Informative AS ALWAYS!!! Since I have been watching your channel I have tried eggplant, I can't get enough of those steel cut oats, I have been fantasizing about those Greek style burgers with tzaziki, and I went out and bought quinoa and chick peas today!!! I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!

That looks like a turnip. Also I've never heard of rutabaga. Is it like swede?

[arunamall]

That's a turnip, not a Rutabaga.

@danispies Rutabagas are turnips. So I don't get other people comments.

THOSE ARE TURNIPS...FAIL

@danispies yes, it IS!! its the "American Purple Top Yellow" rutabaga which is a cool season Swedish variety of American origin, a long-time standard for home and market use. The rutabaga produces purple-topped, globular roots with pale yellow, fine-grained skin and flesh. Generally harvested when it is at least four inches in diameter, the rutabaga's creamy, yellow flesh is crisp and peppery-sweet when raw and soft and sweet when cooked properly.

@MrErnewein Bigger veggies do lose flavor because they become fiborous alot of times. I personally grow my own food so she is right.

But yes Rutabaga's are not white inside, they are yellow.
