Description
Murasaki Sweet Potatoes first caught my eye at a local farmers’ market—not because I was searching for a new ingredient, but because of their striking deep-purple skin piled high in a rustic wooden crate. I was used to the vibrant orange sweet potatoes in my kitchen, but something about these rich, jewel-toned tubers made me stop and take notice. One curious conversation with the vendor later, I found myself heading home with a bag full of Murasakis and a mind buzzing with recipe ideas.
