Turnips and rutabagas, while popular in some parts of the world, remain relatively obscure in most of North America and are often confused for one another. As a result, these hearty root vegetables are highly underestimated for their flavour, texture and nutritional content.
Turnips, also known as the "white turnip", are best distinguished by their white skin and purplish top.
Rutabagas on the other hand, have a thin, pale yellow skin with smooth, waxy leaves. Depending on where you are in the world, rutabagas are called everything from "yellow turnip" to "swede" to "neep" and sometimes even referred to as just a "turnip", hence the confusion!
