Swede

A swede, also known as rutabaga, is a root vegetable that is a cross between cabbage and turnip. It has a round shape, with a cream or yellowish skin and purple or greenish top. Swedes are known for their sweet, earthy flavor and are commonly used in soups, stews, and as a side dish. They are rich in nutrients, including vitamins C and E, fiber, and antioxidants. Typically, they are harvested in the fall and winter, making them a popular choice for hearty winter meals. Swedes are especially popular in Scandinavian cuisine.
