A knife may appear red after cutting a sweet potato due to the presence of natural pigments, particularly anthocyanins, which can leach out of the sweet potato's flesh. Additionally, the cutting process can release juices that mix with these pigments, resulting in a reddish stain on the knife. This discoloration is harmless and is similar to what occurs when cutting other colorful fruits and vegetables.
