Breeder: Hause Ellenberg\u003cbr\u003eThis beautiful purple potato has an attractive mouse-like shape, deep purple skin, and very evenly purple flesh. It can be harvested quite early, and storage is excellent until December, after which they have an irresistible tendency to sprout. Immediately after harvesting, they are quite firm when cooked; later, they become slightly more floury. The robust taste also becomes lighter later but remains very pleasant, without wild notes.\u003cbr\u003eWE SUPPLY SPECIAL VARIETIES LIKE THESE IN A MIXED PLANTING SIZE, THERE MAY BE (VERY) LARGE TUBERS INCLUDED. YOU PLANT THESE WHOLE OR CUT THEM INTO PIECES WITH SPROUTS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBLACK OR PURPLE-SKINNED VARIETY FOR GOURMETS.\u003cbr\u003eBlack potatoes are an unknown group in our assortment. The skin is deep purple to almost black, and the flesh is purple, marbled, or white. To preserve the surprising effect of the color, we recommend not peeling the tubers but washing them before cooking. Plant from mid-April, when the soil has sufficient warmth. Pre-sprouting in light or in a large pot can be done earlier. Do not plant them in too wet a spot, but in good sun. The average planting distance is 70x40 cm; we recommend maintaining 80x40 cm to prevent diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNames:\u003cbr\u003eLatin: Solanum tuberosum\u003cbr\u003eDutch: Aardappel\u003cbr\u003eEnglish: Potato\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vreeken","offers":[{"title":"10 tubers","offer_id":44177555226677,"sku":"408899.1","price":3.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/9092\/3573\/files\/408899.jpg?v=1750793093","url":"https:\/\/www.vreeken.nl\/en\/products\/408899-1","provider":"Vreeken's Zaden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
