The rutabaga, also called swede in other regions, is part of the Brassica family and is a hybrid between a turnip and a cabbage. It's sometimes confused with a turnip but is slightly bigger and has a more mellow flavor. It can be used like potatoes but it's less starchy and the flesh has a gold tinge.
How Do You Get the Bitter Taste Out of Rutabagas? If you find that rutabagas are too bitter for you, add up to a tablespoon of sugar to accentuate the sweetness and stir to combine. This will help to counteract the bitterness.
