 Rutabaga While rutabagas and turnips look somewhat similar, they're not identical. Rutabagas are large, more yellowish, and only grow in cool climates. Meanwhile, turnips are small, usually have a reddish tinge, and grow in a variety of climates. Both vegetables have a slightly bitter flavor that's similar to cabbage, but rutabagas are sweeter and milder when eaten raw. When cooked, rutabagas become more savory, yet still sweet—almost like a rich potato. At only 66 calories per cup, rutabagas make a great, low-cal snack or side. They are also high in vitamin C and fiber, make a great alternative to potatoes in a low-carb diet: One cup of boiled and cubed rutabaga contains 12 grams of carbohydrates, while the same amount of boiled and cubed potatoes contain 31 grams of carbohydrates. If you haven't tried rutabaga you might be pleasantly surprised. Our recipe features it.
