Rutabagas, also known as Swede turnips or simply Swedes, are an often over-looked table vegetable in our modern western diet.  They appeared in Europe in the Middle Ages and are reportedly the result of a cross between cabbage and turnips.

They can be boiled and mashed as a potato substitute for those on low starch diets.  They are cold tolerant and except in areas of extreme cold, can be left in the ground over winter.

(Approximately 250 to 300 seeds per gram)
