Pack with antioxidants

Purple potatoes, like other colorful fruits and vegetables, have a brilliant hue that indicates they are strong in antioxidants. They have up to three times the antioxidant activity of white or yellow potatoes. Plant components known as antioxidants can protect your cells from the detrimental effects of oxidative stress. Purple potatoes are particularly high in polyphenol antioxidants known as anthocyanins. They have the same antioxidant as blueberries and blackberries. A higher anthocyanin consumption has been associated with a number of advantages, including lower cholesterol levels, better eyesight and eye health, and a lower risk of heart disease, some malignancies, and diabetes.

A short research of eight persons discovered that eating one meal of entire purple potatoes enhanced antioxidant levels in their blood and urine. In contrast, eating the same quantity of refined potato starch as biscuits resulted in a reduction. Another research found that when males ate 5.3 ounces (150 grams) of different colored potatoes every day for 6 weeks, the purple potato group had lower levels of inflammatory markers and DNA damage indicators than the white potato group.
