SuburbanDharma said:I've never seen unwaxed except at farmer's markets & roadside stands. I'm in NC and it's a miracle when the store even HAS rutabagas! But when I lived in MA & SC I never saw unwaxed either- wish I had your supermarket! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> The turnips are unwaxed here but not the rutabagas.
I would think an organic market might have some unwaxed but the closest one of those to here (that isn't just seasonal) is almost 2 hours away...
In any case, I'm now on a mission! Thanks, all, for bringing this up!
You are right, my
'bagas are coated with wax too. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Hairy.gif" alt="" />
Please let us know how your experiment with the "extra" works out.
FYI- in my research, I read that cooking the
'bagas with the skin on can change the taste of the end product.
Do you think this would be the case if you nuke the
'bagas and then mash 'em?
Maybe it depends on how long you microwave them? Maybe you can just soften them a bit in the micorowave and not cook them through? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
