Swede
The swede, also known as yellow turnip or rutabaga, is a root vegetable valued for its sweet, earthy flavour and versatility in cooking. It is a staple in British cuisine, particularly popular in stews, soups, and as a mash alongside roast dinners.
Appearance and Characteristics: Swedes have a round shape, larger than turnips, with a thick, yellow-orange flesh beneath a rough, pale brown or purple-tinged skin. They are typically harvested in autumn and winter, making them ideal for hearty seasonal dishes.
Nutritional Benefits: Swedes are low in calories but rich in dietary fibre, vitamin C, and potassium. They contribute to immune health and support digestion, making them a nutritious addition to your diet.
Culinary Uses:
Mashed swede makes a creamy, sweet accompaniment to meats or vegetables.
Roasted swede can add depth and sweetness to root vegetable medleys.
Swede can also be added to soups and stews, imparting a subtle sweetness.
It works well in gratins, casseroles, and even in vegetable burgers when mashed.
Storage: Keep swedes in a cool, dark place or refrigerator for up to several weeks. Avoid washing before storage to prevent spoilage.
At Cheeky Fruits, we offer fresh, high-quality swedes delivered next day across London, including Abbey Wood, Bexley, and Dartford. Perfect for adding wholesome flavour to your cooking.
