Recently read that potatoes with "yellow" flesh are more nutritious. At Farmers

I've never heard that before.





Is this similar to Nature's continuum in leafy vegs? The darker the better?



(I bought a few just to see if I would get turned off by purple potato flesh. Not yet eaten. Stay tuned g).



Of the purple spuds, the only ones I've grown are Purple Congo. They

are superb in terms of floury delicousness. They are best IMO served if

cooked by steaming and then serving up with just butter.

(SFX) lips smacking.

I usually nuke potatoes/veggies in the micro with just a dash of water. Esp. with veggies, so I've heard, a lot of the vitamins, etc. good stuff, goes into the water & is thrown out.

Some people that cook a lot save the water; too much trouble pour moi; I'd just rather nuke in micro.
