Researchers have developed two new varieties of potatoes which have high nutritional value and are highly suitable for industrial processing. Developed by the Basque Institute for Agricultural Research and Development, NEIKER-Tecnalia, a state-owned, not-for-profit public corporation, the new varieties are striking in appearance: ‘Miren’ has bright yellow flesh and ‘Entzia’ is purple. As well as its vivid colour, Entzia is characterised by a high presence of antioxidant components and a considerable quantity of anthocyanins, a pigment with bioactive potential and reported beneficial effects for human health.
