Potato cultivar From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Russian blue potato is a deep purple cultivar of potato believed to have originated in Russia.
The Russian blue potato plant produces medium round and oblong tubers with deep purple insides.[1] It is a late season variety of potato. The plants themselves are large, semi-erect, and produce light blue flowers and dark foliage.[2][3][4]
Russian blues are believed to have originated before the 1900s.[2][5]
Russian blues are rich in anthocyanin, vitamin C, potassium, and fiber.[6] The potatoes retain their colour when cooked[7] and have a similar texture to russet potatoes.[3]
