This green-topped swede isn't the most attractive vegetable in our catalogue but its tasty and substantial - everything you could want in this comforting winter staple. It also makes a great addition to a veg garden because you can sow it fairly late in the year and harvest over winter.

Swede is thought to have originated from a chance cross between a turnip (Brassica rapa) and cabbage (Brassica oleracea). Introduced to England from Sweden, it was originally called the Swedish turnip which eventually became 'swede'. Its a classic ingredient in Russian, Scandinavian, Eastern European and Scottish cooking. Think neeps and tatties, or brown butter braised swede.
