Purple Potates

Denser and better tasting than white potatoes, there are many benefits of eating purple potatoes other than wonderful taste! They are highly nutritous and provide more potassium than bananas. Purple potatoes have a lower glycemic index than white potatoes (77 vs (93). The purple potato contains anthocyanins, which are also found in blueberries. A higher anthocyanin intake is linked to several benefits, including healthier cholesterol levels, improved vision and eye health, and a reduced risk of heart disease, certain cancers, and diabetes. Prepare the same way as you would any potato - baked, mashed, roasted, etc. Our favorite is oven roasted at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes with some sea salt and black pepper. Sold in mesh netting containing 1 pound.
