The old seed strains of potaoes come in white, red, yellow and blue. I recall reading an article by the Seed Savers exchange that the Indians of the Southwest have been raising a variety of colored potatoes for years and are some the original strains of potatoes grown before they were common to Europe. Potatoes, corn (maize), beans and squash are native to America as well as maple syrup. All of this was introduced to to us European types by the Native Americans when we first came to this continent. Corn also comes in a variety of colors besides yellow. Corn is either a dent variety or a flint variety. The colored strains are usually the dent variety.
I haven't been looking for colored potatoe recently but I have seen
them offered in the Seed Savers Exchange, I have seen them in Gurnee Seeds
and I have seen them in Seeds Blum catalog which has mainly non-hybrid
seeds and a lot of interesting garden plants that you don't always see
offered.
This could be an interesting project for a Royal Ranger outpost that
has access to land and to somebody in FCF looking for a trade.

Vegemite is a processed yeast extract and it is strong flavored, but

I knew it would be great. So was the vegemite.White Buffalo
