Purple potatoes, known for their vibrant color and earthy flavor, are native to South America, particularly Peru and Bolivia. They’re rich in antioxidants, such as anthocyanins, which contribute to their striking hue and support cell health by combating free radicals. These potatoes are a great source of complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and essential vitamins, including B6 and C, as well as minerals like potassium and iron, which aid in energy metabolism and blood pressure regulation. Popular in both traditional Andean dishes and modern cuisines, purple potatoes are often roasted, mashed, or incorporated into salads for a pop of color and nutrition. They are naturally low in fat and contain no cholesterol, making them heart-healthy when prepared without excessive oils or added saturated fats. However, their carbohydrate content may require moderation in low-carb diets.
