    A swede is another name for a Rutabaga. Rutabaga is a vegetable similar in appearance and taste to a turnip except it has yellow flesh instead of white. In Scotland swedes are often eaten instead of turnip, and are referred to as "neeps" or "turnips", as on the packet illustrated where the swede content is referred to as "neeps". White fleshed turnips are more commonly used for feeding sheep.

    Got it. I knew that a rutabaga was a neep (yellow turnip), but had never heard the term sweed before. Both the products above had swede listed and I was a little worried.
