I have a huge amount of generous friends, but one person who's generosity never fails me is my friend Kevin. We've run together on the cross country team for the past two years, and have been friends since first year. A back-to-the-earth kinda guy, with a love for vegetable production Kevin is always known for his love for sharing good food. He gave me this lovely rutabaga, which I can't wait to cook up and eat. Or maybe just eat it raw? Who knows, whatever way I will eat it, it will certainly be delicious. Thanks for the lovely vegetable Kev!
Veggie lesson of the day.
For those of you wondering the difference between turnips and rutabaga. I did a little reading when people asked me about the 'turnip' I was carrying around.
- Rutabagas are rougher in texture than turnips
- Rutabagas are starchier and rougher than turnips
- Rutabagas are yellow after cooked, turnips white after cooked (Generally, not always)
- Rutabagas tend to be a little sweeter than turnips
Never hurts to learn something new!
Hope you're well, happy, and healthy.
