This makes me guess that it's the alkali nature of baking soda that does it. Also, the water in parts of the midwest and the west in the US tends to be alkali (due to calcium carbonate, a.k.a. limestone in the soil), so maybe if the water in your neck of the woods has a pH much above 7, that's what's causing it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36043957.post-72303021102771966142010-01-20T18:55:53.980-05:002010-01-20T18:55:53.980-05:00Renaye, thank you.

Some might need more and some need less.ICook4Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02405825862798280769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36043957.post-42039152198554772792009-11-09T18:05:42.561-05:002009-11-09T18:05:42.561-05:00Wow, is the ondeh ondeh so easy to make...

There must be some scientific reason for that.</I><BR/><BR/>The purple color in vegetables is a result of a pigment known as anthocyanin which are also antioxidant flavonoids that protect many body systems. Anthocyanins are sensitive to acidity and are are extremely water soluble, changes in acidity (pH) cause the compounds to alter their structure. The compounds change and the acid is evaporated off the surface of the potato into the water.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36043957.post-67862047689360069822007-08-15T10:42:00.000-04:002007-08-15T10:42:00.000-04:00Rita, what a co-incidence that your sister made th...Rita, what a co-incidence that your sister made the same purple ondeh ondeh :) I used frozen grated coconut.

If you come across any of these give it a try. Is so much sweeter than the normal sweet potatoes. <BR/><BR/>Zue, remember we saw some at the vietnamese store but dah tak cantik that is why kita tak beli. Next time you pergi situ, check and see ada tak. This is Japanese Sweet potato. <BR/><BR/>Beachlover, I too crazy over this sweet potato. Is really sweet especially if you roast it. As far as I know if you mix green and red it will become purple.
