About American Purple Top Rutabaga
The American Purple Top Rutabaga is a time-tested heirloom variety
dating back to the 1920s. Known for its nearly globe-shaped roots
measuring 4 to 6 inches in diameter and 20-inch-tall leafy tops, this
rutabaga is an excellent keeper, making it perfect for storage through the
winter months. The flesh cooks up to a beautiful orange-yellow color
with a sweet, mild flavor that’s loved in soups, stews, and roasted dishes.
Because rutabagas require about 4 weeks longer to mature than turnips,
they are ideally grown as a fall crop for best flavor and quality.
