Purple Potatoes - Another Peruvian Masterpiece!

These gemlike spuds are about as big as a Ping-Pong ball, but don't let their size fool you. Purple potatoes have many times the antioxidant power of their cousins, white and yellow potatoes. Studies have found that the plant pigments that give them their lovely color, called anthocyanins, may improve memory and prevent age-related muddled thinking. Also, their high levels of folate help lower levels of the amino acid homocysteine, which can damage brain cells. Pretty good for such a tiny tater.

Did you know all potatoes originated in the Andes?  Yup - that's where they come from!  Lula's for Lunch...and More! Catering LUVS potatoes and uses them in many different dishes in EVERY color!
