Ulluco is a vibrant and essential tuber from the high Andes. These small, waxy tubers come in brilliant shades of yellow, pink, and purple, often with beautiful speckles. They have a wonderfully crisp texture that remains even after cooking, and a unique, earthy, and slightly peppery flavor, similar to a beet or a potato. The skin is thin and does not need to be peeled. A versatile and visually stunning ingredient for soups, stews, and side dishes.
