GOURMET SEED POTATOES - VIOLET QUEEN

Violet Queen is a specialty potato with deep purple skin and flesh descended from ancient Peruvian varieties. It smells sweet like red beets when cooked and tastes great. Violet Queen retains its color through cooking and is great for boiling, steaming and baking. Try chipping them for their bright purple colour. Violet Queen produces high yields of oval shaped tubers early to mid-season.

  • Unique varieties that are ideal for gourmet dishes and unique salads.
