Buying Tips

Rutabagas can be found in the produce section of health food stores and supermarkets. Choose heavy, firm rutabagas with smooth, unblemished skin and no sign of wrinkling or shriveling.

Varieties

The golden-fleshed variety is the most generally available. A white variety of rutabaga exists, but it’s not often seen for sale.
