Sustain Your Health with Purple Potato
The technology of Purple-fleshed sweet potatoes (PFSP) is a sweet potato variety with purple-colored flesh. These PFSP varieties are characterized by their high levels of anthocyanins, a type of flavonoid that imparts the purple color and contributes to their antioxidant properties. This technology provides a nutrient-rich crop with enhanced antioxidant activity, thereby addressing dietary imbalances and vitamin deficiencies in underserved communities. It is a valuable addition to agricultural systems, promoting overall health and well-being.
