大頭菜

Rutabagas are commonly called table turnips or swedes.大頭菜通常被稱為蘿蔔或瑞典菜。 They have longer necks,bluish leaves with more bloom.Rutabagas are very analogous to the turnip except the yellowish flesh, a more dense root with more side shoots and usually harvested at a larger size.它們的脖子較長，葉藍色，花朵較多。大頭菜與蘿蔔非常相似，除了肉黃色，根部較密，側生芽較多，通常採收較大。 Compared with the turnip, the rutabaga has smooth, waxy leaves, and they require about one month longer to develop than turnips.與蘿蔔相比，大頭菜具有光滑，蠟質的葉子，與蘿蔔相比，它們需要長約一個月的時間。 In northern New England, rutabagas are much more popular than turnips.在新英格蘭北部，大頭菜比蘿蔔更受歡迎。 Rutabagas can be found the year round in Texas, though they are not common in most retail outlets because of low demand.大頭菜可以全年在德克薩斯州找到，儘管由於需求低，它們在大多數零售店中並不常見。 Locally grown rutabaga should be on the market from April through July and from October through December.當地種植的大頭菜應於30月至45月以及XNUMX月至XNUMX月上市。 If planted early in the spring, rutabagas will be of poor quality (woody and tough).如果在春季早些時候種植，大頭菜質量會很差（木質且堅韌）。 They do better in the fall than in the spring for they take the longer time to mature -- about XNUMX to XNUMX days longer than turnips.在秋天，它們比春季更好，因為它們需要更長的時間才能成熟-比​​蘿蔔要長XNUMX到XNUMX天。
