Purple Rain - Seed Potatoes
Purple Rain potatoes have a purple skin and flesh* and keep their colour after cooking. These potatoes are quite a talking point. Conventional untreated seed. More details below.
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.
