Purple sweet potatoes!

I bought some sweet potatoes from my local farmer and the label said "blue sweet potatoes". Hmm, I thought. Well, they weren't blue but were VIOLET!

I cooked them by wrapping them in damp kitchen paper and microwaving until done.

There were actually two varieties. The ones with reddish-purple skins were purple inside, and the ones with beige-ish skins were violet inside.

I've had purple sweet potatoes before, but not such lovely bright ones!
