I baked a purple sweet potato today from HEB. Similar flavor to the regular - color is a little weird!

I'm not sure about eating one of these.  How do they get their color? Is it a natural thing or enhanced? 4951

@jls2: www.hellawella.com/w hite-asparagus-blue- potatoes-vegetable-c olor-variations looked it up and this is what they say..Purple and blue potatoes
You know those awesome bright blue potato chips Jet Blue serves on
its flights? The Terra Chip company uses potatoes that really start out
that blue. The vibrant color you see in purple and blue potatoes is due
to healthy pigments
known as carotenoids and flavonoids, which are associated with a
reduced risk of cancer and a lower mortality rate from numerous
diseases.Also.. While there are some blue potatoes varietals that are grown naturally, others are genetically altered to produce a specific shade of indigo. If your not worried about GMOs (moi) and can get used to the color, they are supposed to be healthier for you.

Around the world, sweet potatoes can be found in many colors: white, red, pink, violet, orange, and purple.  It just happens that the familiar orange is the easiest to grow and is more commercially viable in the USA and many other areas.Along this same line, carrots were originally primarily purple, but variants were red, yellow, and black. The orange carrots came from cross-breeding red and yellow carrots and are now the most popular. 4951

I don't even like sweet potatoes but I want to try those just for the color alone. Foods taste better when in funky colors. 4951

I didn't know about the purple sweet potatoes but I found purple potatoes at HEB last year. They're supposedly healthier than other potatoes....but they're seasonal so hard to find this time of year. Good to know about the sweet potatoes, though. Thanks! 4951
