Rutabagas and turnips are often confused. These root vegetables are both part of the cruciferous family. The flesh of the rutabaga is yellow or orange and its skin is pale yellow and streaked with purplish red. As for the turnip, its white or ivory flesh has a slightly peppery taste and its skin is pale yellow, pinkish-white, white or sometimes black.
