Continuing our Food Revolution…I have been using all sorts of different fruits and veggies in my cooking.  (Many thanks to my produce club subscription - Annie’s Organic Produce Buying Club.)

Well, this week we received something that I certainly had never heard, seen or tasted before.  What do you think it is?  I’ll let you know that it is a vegetable that I sliced and baked. (Hint: It is not a beet.)

Name the Vegetable!

Person with the best guess gets a big pat on the back – aren’t I generous!?

Answer: 

Congrats to @greenandhealthy of healthychild.org who tweeted the right guess!  The mysterius vegetable is an organic PURPLE POTATO

I used the potato as a replacement for a traditional white potato in a casserole dish.  The taste was richer than a white potato and worked great.  The look, deep purple, was actually amusing to look at.  My husband kept thinking I was making beets!

I have only found these once, and they were very good, hopefully I can find some this summer!
