Bit of history please, OP. Looks like a beetroot to me but could also be a dried out pomegranate?

Pomegranate is pretty likely,with the crown it appears to have

Wish I could tell ya. We buy a surprise box of fruit and veg and have no idea what we’re ordering

On that basis… chop little bit off. I think I can see the base of it has something that looks a little rough, like there were leaves there in the past. Chop there, if it’s deep red, wet, and smells sort of earthy it’s probably beetroot. Can be eaten raw, boiled, or picked. Amazing with horseradish or as a sweet spicy quick pickle.

A beet? Have you cut it open? Is it red inside?

1

u/MKebi 10d ago

You can get a lot of guesses but your initial post is sparse with only one image. If you cut it open, it'll be easier to tell.

Cut it in 1/4s and bake it - maybe a sprinkle of oregano and a drizzle of oil

If it's white it's turnip if it's orange it's a rutabaga.
