What is Taro Root?

Taro root is a starchy root vegetable originally cultivated in Asia but now enjoyed around the world. It has a brown outer skin and white flesh with purple specks throughout.

When cooked, it has a mildly sweet taste and texture similar to potato.

It normally grows well and produces high yield when cultivated in more suitable areas favoured with the right soil and rainfall needed by the crop

THE ORIGINAL BLUE CHIP

 

Blue Potatoes are a late season HERITAGE variety. Dark purple skin on round to oblong tubers, plants are very heavy setting so give them more room in the row. It withstands dry conditions better than most. Their texture is much like a russet so they are good to bake or mash, cook as French fry or even make into chips; but they also can be steamed or boiled. Roasting or grilling the halves will actually darken the colour.

Benefits of Blue Potatoes

Blue potatoes are packed with antioxidants and are especially rich in polyphenol antioxidants called anthocyanins.  Higher anthocyanin intake is linked to several benefits, including healthier cholesterol levels, improved vision and eye health and a reduced risk of heart disease, certain cancers and diabetes.
