Hungarian purple potato from Kónya Sándor Csengele horticulture, packed 

Domestic purple potato from Sándor Kónya's Csengele garden, packaged

Purple potatoes originate from South America, just like pink or yellow-skinned varieties. Purple potatoes contain large amounts of natural plant pigments, mainly anthocyanins. In terms of use, they are similar to other colored potato varieties. However, they are better suited for certain dishes, as their cooking time is shorter. During cooking, the flesh's color fades, which is a completely natural process. Don't be alarmed by it! Their taste is like other potatoes, although their skin is a bit thicker and darker in color. It resembles a mix of beetroot and potato.

For the Living Tisza

The goal of Szövetség az Élő Tiszáért Egyesület is to improve the livelihoods of those living in the Tisza River basin, increase its flood and environmental safety, and preserve and enhance the ecological values of the Tisza, so that the inhabitants of this region can live in good quality of life and safety. The Alliance aims to promote farming models that achieve sustainable coexistence between humans and the river: they are appropriate for the landscape's characteristics, enrich the rich diversity of life, and promote the well-being of the people living in the region. To achieve this goal, they invited the municipalities, farmers, representatives of science, civil organizations, and anyone who wants to contribute to the prosperity of this region in the Tisza Plain to cooperate. They work not only for the Tisza and its floodplain but also for the people living in the valleys of its tributaries, such as the Túr, Szamos, Kraszna, Bodrog, Hernád, Sajó, Körösök, Maros, Zagyva, and for the natural values found there. This natural unit, the Tisza Plain, one-third of Hungary's territory, and the areas within the watershed of the Carpathian peaks – after Széchenyi – are collectively called the Tisza Valley. This is the primary operational area of SZÖVET.

The task is not small: the region is regularly threatened by floods, inland waters, drought, our natural values are at risk, and we also find here the country's economically and socially most disadvantaged regions. Unemployment is significant, and incomes are low. The proportion of elderly people in village populations is increasing, and many young people are moving away. Institutions in small settlements (kindergarten, school, doctor's office, post office) are being closed down in more and more places. In many places, railway transport has been abolished, and in numerous places, even bus services.

All these problems are not independent of each other. SZÖVET aims to develop and implement solutions that can address these issues comprehensively. The key to the development of the Tisza Valley is for its inhabitants to wisely manage the opportunities provided by nature. This can simultaneously bring better livelihoods, enhance our natural values, and even help mitigate the difficulties caused by extreme weather. The Association strives to help not only in theory but also in everyday life, so that all this can become a reality, not just a dream.
