They are also used as filler in foods such as mincemeat and Christmas cake. In the US, rutabagas are mostly eaten as part of stews or casseroles , served mashed with carrots, or baked in a pasty. They are frequently found in the New England boiled dinner. Rutabaga and other cyanoglucoside-containing foods including cassava , maize corn , bamboo shoots , sweet potatoes , and lima beans release cyanide , which is subsequently detoxified into thiocyanate.
Why choose The Painting Swede?
Thiocyanate inhibits thyroid iodide transport and, at high doses, competes with iodide in the organification process within thyroid tissue. Goitres may develop when there is a dietary imbalance of thiocyanate-containing food in excess of iodine consumption, and it is possible for these compounds to contribute to hypothyroidism.
These compounds also cause the bitter taste of rutabaga. As with watercress, mustard greens, turnip, broccoli and horseradish, human perception of bitterness in rutabaga is governed by a gene affecting the TAS2R bitter receptor, which detects the glucosinolates in rutabaga. Other chemical compounds that contribute to flavor and odor include glucocheirolin, glucobrassicanapin, glucoberteroin, gluconapoleiferin, and glucoerysolin. The roots and tops of "swedes" came into use as a forage crop in the early nineteenth century, used as winter feed for livestock.
