WHY WE CHOSE THE PURPLE FIESTA
The KBFD team chose the Purple Fiesta for one simple reason: This modern fingerling potato has repeatedly ranked better in taste, color, nutrition value, and culinary properties than any other blue/purple potato we have ever explored. It has been carefully bred to enhance all the unique qualities found in a colorful potato including size, uniform color, vitamin and mineral content, and cooking properties. The highest in antioxidants (anthocyanins) of any other potato, this eye-catching nutritious treat is truly one of our most prized potatoes.
DESCRIPTION AND USES
The Purple Fiesta is a mid-season fingerling specialty potato. They have smooth brilliant purple skin, and deep purple flesh. These nutritious fingerlings are ideal for steaming, boiling, or baking. Purple Fiesta potatoes make mouth-watering, intensely colorful potato chips as they retain their sweetness and uniform bright purple color. This is unlike other purple varieties that turn brown when fried and taste burnt.
SELECTION, STORAGE, AND HANDLING
Organic Purple Fiesta potatoes are hand-selected for superb quality. We select for small to medium, firm, oblong-shaped, defect-free potatoes. They are kept best if stored in a cool, dark, well-ventilated area. We use special packaging that allows the potatoes to breathe freely while also protecting them from light, keeping them as fresh as possible from packing to retail. To preserve the nutrients and allow maximum taste complexity in these wonderfully healthy treats, leave the skins on and scrub gently in water using only your fingers.
