RATALU (PURPLE YAM)

Ratalu, or purple yam, is a vibrant root vegetable with deep violet flesh and a subtly sweet, nutty taste. Often used in Indian, Caribbean, and Southeast Asian cuisine, it can be boiled, roasted, or turned into sweets and desserts. This yam is rich in fiber, anthocyanins, and vitamin C, supporting digestive health and acting as a powerful antioxidant. It’s a colorful, nutrient-dense alternative to traditional potatoes or yams.
