Purple Majesty Potato

New Item in the box this week. 
PURPLE MAJESTY POTATO

"Another new potato variety from Dr. Holm in Colorado along with Mountain Rose. This one is a purple inside and out potato, also bred to be a fry type potato and tastes great baked or boiled. Very nice uniformity and yield. Purple Majesty™ potatoes are loaded with 235 milligrams of anthocyanidins per 148 gram serving (approximately 1.5 potatoes), nearly twice the amount found in any other produce item at a fraction of the cost. Anthocyanidins are a subclass of high-potency antioxidants shown to reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease, lower cholesterol, strengthen the immune system and decrease age-related memory loss."

I trialed Purple Majesty at my farm, several years ago, before it was available to the general population. It is one of the best of the purple potatoes.  This variety doesn't turn a strange color with you cook it and retains much of the purple pigmentation.  It is not GMO, it is a standard hybrid, albiet a new one.  Many of the purple potatoes actually trace their lineage to some of the oldest Peruvian varieties, where they originated.

ENJOY!!!
