Batang Black Beauty Potatoes

Batang Black Beauty Potatoes

　　Batang Black Beauty Potatoes are a specialty of Batang County in Garzê Prefecture, Sichuan Province. These "Black Beauty" potatoes from Batang are rich in anthocyanins, which act as free radical scavengers. With both their skin and flesh being black—especially the flesh, which has a sapphire-like brilliant sheen—they are named "Black Beauty" potatoes.

　　The planting area of "Black Beauty" potatoes in Batang County is about 350 acres, all located on plateaus above an altitude of 4,500 meters. The "Black Beauty" potatoes grown here are rich in plant-based anthocyanins, earning them the title of the "Queen of Anthocyanins" among vegetables. In addition to inhibiting carcinogens, they can also enhance the body's immunity, delay aging, strengthen physical health, and improve vision.

　　They are rich in anthocyanins, which have unique efficacy and high medicinal value. After consumption, the blood concentration of anthocyanins peaks within twenty minutes, and their metabolic half-life is more than seven hours. Anthocyanins are currently recognized by the international scientific community as the most direct, effective, and safest free radical scavengers for disease prevention and health maintenance. Their ability to eliminate free radicals is 20 times that of vitamin C and 50 times that of vitamin E, making them the seventh essential element of life after water, protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.
