About Purple kumara
Purple Kumara, also known as purple sweet potato, is a nutrient-packed starch originating from Polynesia and commonly used in Maori cuisine. Its striking violet flesh owes its color to anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants linked to reduced inflammation and enhanced heart health. This versatile tuber is rich in dietary fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and manganese, supporting digestion, immunity, and bone health. Purple Kumara is naturally low in fat and cholesterol, making it a heart-friendly carbohydrate option. Its slow-digesting natural sugars provide lasting energy, while its vibrant hues make it a feast for the eyes and plate. Suitable for roasting, mashing, or baking, it adds a sweet, nutty flavor to both savory and dessert dishes. However, like with all starchy vegetables, moderation is key to managing blood sugar levels for those with diabetes.
