4. Rutabaga
Rutabaga is believed to be a hybrid of the turnip and some form of cabbage. It belongs to the same family as kale, brussel sprouts, and cauliflower. Rutabagas are a good source of calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin C. It is also an excellent source for potassium, which is known to help lower high blood pressure. Smashed Rutabagas with Ginger Roasted Pears on Epicurious sounds like an oh-so delectable recipe for a chilly night in.
I always look forward to colder weather because I love hot soups and squash. Spaghetti squash being my favorite.
