Swede Wilhelmsburger is a variety of swede known for its
exceptional taste and quality. This heirloom variety, popular in Germany
and Northern Europe, has a creamy, golden flesh with a green top,
setting it apart from other swede varieties. It is recognized for its
disease resistance, especially against club-root and soil boron
deficiency, making it a reliable choice for gardeners. Awarded the Royal
Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit (AGM), Swede
Wilhelmsburger is easy to grow, suitable for novice gardeners, and can
be harvested from autumn to spring. This vegetable, a cross between
cabbage and turnip, offers a milder and sweeter flavor with a yellow
flesh. Swedes are versatile in culinary use, ideal for salads, soups,
stews, and roasting. Originating from Sweden or possibly introduced
there in the 17th century, swedes have a rich history as a nutritional
source and were even used as lanterns before pumpkins became popular for
Halloween decorations
