How to Pick

When picking Swedes, look for ones with firm, smooth skin and a good weight for their size, which indicates they are fresh and full of flavor. Avoid any that have soft spots or are too soft to the touch, as this may indicate they are overripe. Additionally, choose ones with fresh-looking greens still attached, as this indicates they were recently harvested. By following these guidelines, you can ensure you are selecting the best Swedes for your recipes and meals.

How to Store

Swedes should be stored in a cool, dark place such as a root cellar or pantry to maintain freshness. Keep them away from direct sunlight and high humidity, as this can cause them to spoil quickly. 

It is best to store them unwashed and with the tops removed to prevent them from rotting. Check on them regularly and remove any that show signs of decay to prevent it from spreading to the rest. Proper storage will ensure that your swedes stay fresh and delicious for longer.

Where it’s Soursed

Our Swedes are grown in the rich, fertile soils of Tasmania and Victoria, where the cool climate and ample rainfall create the perfect conditions for these root vegetables to thrive.
