Meet the rutabaga 🥕

This month’s Food as Medicine feature highlights a humble root vegetable with big everyday potential. Rutabagas are versatile, affordable, and easy to use alongside foods many households already cook with—like potatoes, cabbage, onions, and garlic.

We’ve created a simple, front and back Rutabaga Fact Sheet with: • Easy prep tips

• Nutrition basics

You can find the full fact sheet on our Food as Medicine page at

Food can be practical, nourishing, and accessible—no special diet required.
