Variety Description

The Northern Ruby potato variety is a red-skinned, red-fleshed cultivar that contains anthocyanin pigments, giving it its striking red color. These pigments also contribute to its antioxidant properties. Known for its vibrant appearance, it is often used in dishes where color is important, and it is prized for its aesthetic appeal. 

The variety's red flesh and skin can add a pop of color to various recipes, and it is particularly popular in gourmet and specialty dishes. The texture is firm, making it suitable for baking, roasting, or boiling, though it may not break down as easily as other varieties. The Northern Ruby potato variety features oval to round tubers of medium size with a firm, waxy texture, making them ideal for roasting, boiling, and frying as they hold their shape well. 

With a mildly earthy and slightly sweet flavor, they are perfect for savory dishes, potato salads, and gourmet preparations. Rich in anthocyanins, they offer antioxidant benefits and help fight inflammation.
