Nutritional values

Beta-carotene is available here in double the recommended daily dose. On the one hand, it acts as an antioxidant, i.e. it neutralises cell-damaging free radicals and thus protects against diseases. On the other hand, it is converted into vitamin A as required, without which we would not be able to see properly.

If you can't get purple potatoes, that's no problem. Although their colouring ingredients (anthocyanins) are also powerful antioxidants, you'll already get plenty of beta-carotene here. And yellow potatoes are also very healthy!
