This root vegetable is a staple during the holidays in Canada. Often called swede or turnip, it is actually a different plant than the white turnip as shown below. It is less starchy than potato, but equally delicious and filling.

| What's the difference? |
Available in grocery stores year round, rutabaga keeps for quite a while and the tough outer skin that protects it needs to be peeled off before using. It can be boiled, steamed, or baked. Often served as a mashed side dish, rutabaga can be prepared in a variety of healthy and flavourful ways. We'll feature some on our blog this month, like how to make rutabaga chips.
