Colorful Vegetables & Fruits.
Consumers are looking forever new experiences on their dinner plates and color features very large in their desire for different things.
Sweet potatoes:
While traditionalists may not like the unusual colors, it is not the first time that plant growers have changed the appearance of vegetables.
Until the 17th century most carrots eaten in Europe were white, yellow or purple. The orange pigment was added by Dutch plant growers looking for a way to celebrate Holland's royal family.

These stay the same color when cooked, the skin is light in color, when cut it reveals pink to lavender to purple inside. These are Okinawa sweet potatoes, Garnett sweet potato, also known as the Purple Yam, Beauregard sweet potato or Louisiana sweet potato.
Red potatoes, all red potatoes, all blue potatoes, purple potatoes:
Red potatoes have more sugar & less starch. All red potatoes have beautiful red skins & are pink inside. Purple potatoes (Blue Potatoes or Delta Blues) truly are naturally purple! All blue potatoes are similar to the Purple Potatoes & have the very same powerful antioxidant that gives blueberries their brilliant color.
