More information

Purple potatoes or Vitelotte are rich in antioxidants (especially thanks to their high content of anthocyanins, also responsible for giving them that particular color), a feature they share with other purple foods, such as blueberries (you can learn more about the color of vegetables and their nutrients in our article "The meaning of the color of food"). This is why this type of potato is effective in combating high cholesterol and other cardiovascular diseases

Another benefit of purple potatoes is that they have properties that help reduce hypertension, as revealed by a study conducted by the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania. In addition, it is also remarkable for its high vitamin C content and the presence of potassium and other nutrients in the skin, so cooking it unpeeled is also a good alternative

If we focus on its anti-inflammatory properties, it should be noted that the violet potatoes are also effective for ailments with these symptoms thanks to the aforementioned anthocyanins
