According to this article purple potatoes could soon be in a supermarket near you. The variety which is called the Purple Majesty has a distinctive purple colour and reportedly contains more than 10 times the antioxidants that are in white potatoes. It was developed at the Colorado State University from a traditional variety and despite looking a little odd is not genetically modified. If you want to try some it is due to go on sale at Sainsbury’s stores in Scotland and south east England this week. I might look out for them when I am there next.
