This very large variety has deep golden-yellow roots that are very sweet and rich tasting. They are excellent when roasted, sautéed, baked, fried, boiled, mashed, or added to soups, casseroles, and stews. When raw they have a peppery taste and are typically grated into salads or coleslaw. In northern areas, they can be sown in the late winter for an early summer harvest. In warmer parts of the south, sow in August or September so that they can use the cooler autumn months for their growing season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre-wrap\"\u003eSow late spring to midsummer for fall harvest.

Or is it a hybrid of both? Local lore in Westport, Massachusetts, holds that in 1876 brothers Adin and Elihu Macomber brought seeds home from the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition and planted them near radishes in their garden. The brothers thought they were turnip seeds (Brassica rapa) but they were really rutabaga (Brassica napus var. napobrassica), which is a cross between the turnip and cabbage (Brassica oleracea). Historians for the D. Landreth Seed Co., which had a huge presence at the Philadelphia exposition, think the Macomber brothers actually acquired the seeds of Sweet German rutabaga at the company’s booth. The variety thrived in the coastal Massachusetts climate. Whatever you call it, Macomber Turnip rutabaga is wildly popular around Westport – and rightfully so – the mild, white, thin-skinned roots grow large and are even sweet enough to eat raw!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511640719646,"sku":"RT110","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/rutabaga_macomber.jpg?v=1782402276"},{"product_id":"rutabaga-marian","title":"Rutabaga Seeds, Marian","description":"\u003cp\u003eA delicious and vigorous variety from the U.K., this Welsh-bred rutabaga was developed with the allotment garden in mind, which means it is well suited to compact growing spaces like the backyard garden.
