Peeled some sweet potatoes for breakfast this morning and was rewarded with a lovely purple!
Love discovering all of the varieties found in produce. These ones are called Okinawa sweet potatoes.

munchiemummy 8yr Until I shopped farmers markets I had no idea how many varieties of food are available. I grew up in a rural "food desert" where if we didn't grow it ourselves, the only supermarket was Walmart. I just bought 8 (8!) different varieties of beets to plant in my garden. Who knew there were white beets? Not me! -
Brianne 8yr Wow! 8 kinds of beets?! Yea I find the normal grocery stores just have the basics. I find a lot more interesting vegetables at the ethnic grocery stores. I doubt they are locally grown, but at least it forces me to try something new. -
mirasingh 8yr I love purple potatoes - especially the ones that look normal on the outside. -
etsummer 8yr @mirasingh right!? It's the best surprise. @munchiemummy I love that story. And 8 different varieties of beets sounds amazing. Please share when you harvest, can't wait to see!
One of my favorite food blogs does a monthly round-up of what's in season and recipes to make!

Here's the June guide. All healthy and seasonal recipes, this is one of my favorite things to look at for kitchen inspiration at the start of each month.

munchiemummy I always loved it as a kid in sickly sweet Italian style fruit salad. I don't think I've ever had it fresh, though, but if I found it available near me id love to give it a try!
