A rutabaga is a round, bulbous root vegetable with a smooth, slightly waxy skin that is typically yellowish-purple or yellowish-brown in color. Its flesh is pale yellow and has a firm texture. Rutabagas are larger than turnips, often weighing between one to two pounds, and they have a slightly sweet and earthy flavor. The tops are leafy and green, resembling those of other root vegetables.
The rutabaga is believed to have originated in Scandinavia in the 17th century as a cross between a turnip and cabbage. It is not clear where the exact first rutabaga was found, but it is likely to have been in this region.
At a Chinese supermarket or a local food store, ask your grocery specialist about Rutabaga and you might find it. :)

Inside a rutabaga, the flesh is typically a pale yellow to creamy white color, characterized by a firm and dense texture. The interior is smooth, with a slightly sweet and peppery flavor, making it versatile for cooking. As you cut into it, you may notice a few fibrous strands, but overall, it has a crisp consistency. The contrast between the tough, purple or yellow skin and the tender flesh makes it visually appealing when sliced.
