Other: American Purple Top is an heirloom rutabaga with 4 – 6″ globe shaped fruit. The exterior skin is purple on the top & yellow on the bottom. They can be enjoyed raw or cooked. The inner flesh is yellow when raw, turning orange when cooked. Both colors are visually appealing! American Purple Top Rutabagas have a sweet & mild flavor, perfect for adding to stews or trying mashed! They thrive in cool weather, which enhances their flavor and is the best time for harvesting. Rutabagas also store well & can be kept for 4 – 6 months. The large, tender greens have a flavor similar to spinach & can be used in salads as well.
