Rutabaga -Rutabaga Improved Helenor

This easy to grow Dutch rutabaga (a.k.a. swede) has a fine texture and warm, rich flavours like apples crossed with turnips. High yielding Helenor roots develop good colour early, with creamy exteriors splashed with violet and yellow interior flesh. This mainstay root vegetable is ready to harvest and enjoy from tennis to softball size to use as needed from the garden. You’ll love them tossed in olive oil, then roasted or sautéed to bring out their natural sweetness.
