I’ve been purchasing the same potatoes at my local grocery store. They’ve never had these red rings in the flesh. Is this safe to consume? #873784

Hello Chandra,

That variety has a colored vein. Other varieties their vein is similar color to the flesh of the potato so you do not notice it as much.
