What Is Swede and How Does It Taste?

Swede, called rutabaga in North America, is a root vegetable that began as a cross between cabbage and turnip. It has a thick, purple-tinged skin and dense orange-yellow flesh. Raw, it tastes slightly peppery and nutty. Once cooked, it turns soft, mellow and gently sweet.

What Makes This Swede Worth Buying?

• Dense, firm flesh that holds its shape in stews and bakes
• A mild, earthy sweetness that blends well with other vegetables
• A source of vitamin C, vitamin K and dietary fiber
• Retail packs for households and larger quantities for restaurants, hotels, cafés and caterers

How Do You Cook Swede?

Peel off the thick outer skin with a sharp peeler, then cut the flesh into cubes or wedges.

• Roast: Toss with olive oil and bake until the edges caramelize. For a colorful tray, roast it next to sweet corn on the cob.
• Mash: Boil until tender and mash with butter and black pepper, alone or mixed with potato.
• Simmer: Add to soups, curries, casseroles and slow-cooked stews, where it absorbs flavor well.

Chefs sourcing Swede Dubai menus can also use it in purées, gratins and hearty side dishes.

How Should You Store It?

Keep whole swede in a cool, dry place or in the refrigerator’s vegetable drawer, where it generally lasts around two weeks. Peel it only when you are ready to cook so the flesh stays fresh.

Is Swede the Same as Turnip?

No. Swede is larger, denser and sweeter than a turnip, with deeper yellow flesh. If a recipe calls for turnip, swede works as a richer, creamier substitute.
