ALL ABOUT RUTABAGAS
The Purple Top Rutabaga, also known as the Swede turnip in some regions, stands out for its distinctive purple crown that contrasts with its pale lower root. This root vegetable boasts a mildly sweet flavor, making it a versatile ingredient in both cooking and culinary arts. It's rich in vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and fiber, offering nutritional benefits alongside its unique taste.


The history of the Purple Top Rutabaga traces back to Europe, with origins linked to Sweden and Russia, where it was first cultivated. Its name and cultivation spread throughout Europe, eventually reaching North America where it became known as the Purple Top Turnip. Believed to have been developed from a cross between a cabbage and a turnip in the 17th century, it has since become a staple in many cuisines, appreciated for its ability to thrive in colder climates and its long storage life, making it a valuable crop historically during scarce winter months.
