Adirondack Blue - Organic

seed potatoes
Solanum tuberosum
Mid-season, blue skin, blue flesh.

Maintains its purple color after boiling, roasting or frying. Packed with anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that can lower risks of heart and neurological diseases. The plants are ostentatious with sprawling blue-tinted foliage.

Although tuber dormancy is short and Blue is susceptible to scab, scurf and CPB, its appearance is awfully festive. Walter de Jong and his potato-genetics buddies at Cornell released Addie Blue in 2003. 

The word Adirondack is thought to come from the Mohawk word ha-de-ron-dah meaning ‘eaters of trees.’ French missionary Joseph-François Lafitau recorded that the word was used by the Iroquois as a derogatory term for groups of Algonquins who did not practice agriculture and therefore sometimes ate tree bark to survive harsh winters.

Note: storage life is short, so seed may be ugly when it arrives. Plant them anyway—odds are they’ll be just fine.
