According to a study by the University of IIIinois in 1991, “Frozen vegetables have a nutritional value on oar with fresh.” This is because frozen vegetables are harvested at the peak ripeness and nutritive value. Immediate processing “locks in” the nutrients and vitamins.
I’ve also learned about a few facts about this root vegetable
~ US Potatoes contain high “solids” and low sugar content which produce high-quality finished products with desirable appearance, taste and texture.
~ Potatoes are an indispensable source of nutrition. One 148 gram potato packs only 110 calories but 18% of the RDV (recommended daily value) of potassium and 45% of the RDV of Vitamin C. Potatoes are gluten free too!
~ There are over 20,000 varieties of potatoes but only 2,000 are commercially produced ·
So all potato aficionado, hurry to the above mentioned outlets to enjoy US potatoes like never before! For more information on US Potato Culinary Festival KL 2013, please call Kent Low or Eddie Saw at (03) 80707216.
