Swede 'All Round' - 50 Seeds
Swede is a root vegetable developed in Sweden in the late 17th century. It is a cross between cabbage and turnip. It belongs to the Brassica family.
It is known by various names like Swedish turnip, yellow turnip, neeps, and Russian turnip. Swede is the name most commonly used in many countries like the UK, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia. In the US, it is known as rutabaga.
It may have different names but its physical characteristics are the same. It has a round shape, purple-greenish skin, and yellowish flesh. The flavor is sweet and earthy.
The top half of the swede is purple, and the lower half cream. Under its purple and cream skin you'll find a soft, creamy yellow/orange flesh with a sweet, nutty flavour that can either be used raw, or give a new twist to a favourite cooked dish.
