Was going to try some rutabaga for supper tonight and wondering if anyone has had any experience, good or bad, with eating rutabaga? I love it and was hoping it was something I can have occasionally.

Can't say as I have tried it and although it is a root vegetable (usually the starchy storehouse of the plant) the numbers at Nutrition Data don't look too bad, with 15g total Carbs in a cup (12g net), cubed and boiled...

I'd be tempted to serve it with lashings of butter of course and would be interested to see how it tests for you.

I remember I used to like snacking on raw swede when my Mom was preparing it -- although not a fan after it is cooked -- not keen on mushy vegetables.

Just noticed that Wiki says you can use the leaves as well!
