Purple Rain Seed Potatoes

• Purple Rain are a violet blue/purple fleshed early maincrop
• * under certain conditions the flesh may become a marbled white and purple colour instead of fully purple. This is caused by stress such as heat/drought, irregular water supply or harvesting before mature - which is why you can see it in some of the seed
• They have a delicate sweet flavour, a firm flesh and work well in savoury dishes.
• Have a dark blue, almost black, skin and dark violet-blue flesh
• The colour is retained in cooking, and is due to natural pigment. To retain the colour, it’s best to keep the skin on whilst cooking
• The tubers are elongated with sunken eyes they are thick-skinned, and thus keep well.
