I agree. The secret of selecting turnips is to pick out the youngest turnips.
These are undoubtedly rather sweet in taste and even good when sliced and
eaten raw. Also do not confuse turnips with rutabagas which are decidedly
stronger in flavor. As a rule of thumb, turnips are small white at the
bottom, with a light purple blush on top.

Rutabagas are VERY large, usually coated with wax, yellowish flesh, dirty
white bottom and a ddeep purple top.
