Farmers in Muan to grow colored potatoes.
As heard on GFN this morning, some farmers in Muan county will grow red- and purple-colored potatoes (컬러감자).

Farms in other part of the country have grown them as well, and though the radio said the reason is togive farmers something to do help farmers compete within these free-trade agreements, google says colored potatoes have health benefits, too.
The English of the newscaster onGwangju English-Practice Radio's GFN's "City of Light" is really hard to take, but it cracks me up that she pronounces "potato" the same way my grandmother does: poTAYta.

I've seen the purple ones at a market in Gwangju! I didnt realise they were such a brilliant colour inside. How are they changing the colours? And what could possibly be the health benifits?
(ironically) word verification: oveneati
Googled it. Who knew? I assumed that they'd be pumping them full of dyes or chemicles
They are heirloom potatoes that have been around for a very long, long time in other parts of the world. They just don't ship well and the color turns off a lot of people in the marketplace, so they aren't mainstream.
They same with watermelons. I prefer orange flesh watermelons (orangeglo or tendersweet), but most people are only familiar with the numerous red varieties even though there are orange, yellow, and white ones. I am actually shocked that South Korea still sells seeded watermelons when so many new varieties are now seedless.
its really not that big of deal they are great in potato salad . I have grown them in Ireland years ago
They look like mochi ice cream, the name of which I forgot in Korean (찹쌀 아이스크림?).
