Can you freeze raw rutabaga

Yes, you can freeze raw rutabaga, but it's best to blanch it first to preserve its flavor and texture. Peel and cut the rutabaga into cubes, then blanch them in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes before plunging them into ice water to halt the cooking process. Once cooled and drained, you can pack the rutabaga into airtight containers or freezer bags and store them in the freezer for up to 10-12 months.
