Juicing Rutabagas?? Are you serious? Well, maybe. Rutabagas look sort of like turnips and are actually derived from a cross between turnips and cabbages. They’re known by a host of different names, most commonly the Yellow Turnip in the U.S. and the Swede Turnip in England. It is known simply as a “turnip” in many other places.

Though commonly used similar to potatoes and carrots in stews, it’s also served mashed. So who ever thought of juicing these thick roots? Well, the juice from them is actually relatively mild and though the pulp is pretty much worthless it does contain a good amount of vitamins and minerals like folate and vitamin C. It supposedly is good for your kidneys and bladder and may help cleanse the liver.

I’ve never tried juicing one of these but I suspect it shouldn’t be all that different than doing potatoes or daikon.
