About Blue potatoes

Blue potatoes are small, vibrant tubers native to South America, particularly Peru and Bolivia, where they’ve been cherished for centuries. Their striking blue or purple hue comes from anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that may help combat inflammation and protect against certain chronic diseases. Packed with fiber, potassium, and essential vitamins like Vitamin C and B6, blue potatoes support healthy digestion, heart health, and the immune system. Compared to regular potatoes, their rich color indicates a higher antioxidant content. They have a dense, slightly nutty flavor, making them ideal for roasting, mashing, or using in colorful salads. While nutrient-dense, they are still a source of carbohydrates and should be consumed in balance, especially for those monitoring blood sugar. Blue potatoes add a nutritious and visually stunning twist to dishes from cuisines across the globe, combining history, health, and artistry on your plate.
