Exclusive to the South Australian Potato Company, the Kestrel Potato is instantly recognisable by its smooth white skin and unique purple spots.

Just like traits such as eye or hair colour is passed down from generation to generation in people, certain features on potatoes are inherited from their parent varieties. For Kestrels, the purple blush comes its parent, the Cara potato.

The blush is formed naturally by antioxidants called anthocyanin, the flavonoid also found in other superfoods such as blueberries.
