Storage Tips

• Store in a dark place. If they are exposed to light their skin will turn green (nature’s sunscreen – just peel away, the flesh underneath is good)
• Do not refrigerate because this mimics winter & causes the tubers to start to convert their starch to sugar, making the potato less stable.
• If there is dirt on your potatoes, wash just before using. The less they are disturbed, the better they will store
• Sprouts are the potato trying to put out roots for spring. If they sprout, they are still useable; just pull the sprouts off.

Culinary Tips

• Avoid peeling the potatoes before cooking them. The outer shell provides a good protection against nutritional loss during the cooking process. The protein & mineral content beneath the skin is very high, so if you cook them after peeling them, most of these proteins & minerals will be lost.
• When you boil potatoes, first heat the water to its boiling point & then add them. This will reduce cooking time and help you maintain the vitamin C content.
• Minimize frying of potatoes, as 75% of vitamin C is lost during frying. You can use other cooking methods such as baking and steam cooking.
