Saharanpur Farmer Cultivates 'Air Potato' on Vines

Saharanpur Farmer Cultivates 'Air Potato' on Vines

In Saharanpur, India, a farmer named Rajendra Atal is growing a special kind of potato called the 'Air Potato'.

Unlike regular potatoes that grow underground, the Air Potato grows on vines, like a plant.

This type of potato is originally from Asia and Africa and tastes similar to the ones we eat.

It's a good option for people who don't eat vegetables that grow in the ground.

Atal is helping other farmers grow this unique potato, which is sold at a higher price because it's rare and grown in a special way.

They are trying to grow more of them because there aren't many left.
