Rutabaga is a brassica crop grown for the large oval bulb it produces. It has a sweet and earthy taste and the bulbs are highly nutritious, with lots of vitamins and antioxidants.
The crop can be harvested throughout summer and fall. You want to harvest rutabaga at the right time as this avoids the root getting woody and bitter. When it comes to flavor, timing is key and, when growing rutabaga in fall, it can be improved by a few touches of frost.
