A potato a day? Okay ...
15.01.20The humble potato is probably one of the world’s most popular vegetables.
Each person in the UK eats on average 130kg of potatoes every year and they have a great nutrition profile. They’re a good source of fibre, vitamin C, B6, Potassium and many more vitamins and minerals.
Spuds, taters, tatties, tubers, whatever you call them, potatoes are a truly versatile food. They can be bought fresh, dried, frozen, or as potato flakes, granules and starch, which are three of our most popular products.
Flakes are great for a number of foods such as Shepherd’s Pie, Fish Cakes, Rolls, Focaccia and much more, and they’re very nice mixed with parmesan for a delicious coating too!
Granules work well for mash potato, snacks, ready meals and to thicken dry soups and sauces, whereas starch can work as a fantastic thickener in custards, pie fillings, noodles, hot dog sausages and more. It’s also a great ingredient to prevent liquid separation. Potato Starch is also gluten free and it tolerates higher temperatures than corn starch.
Fun Fact: Potato starch was used in an early colour photography process and has also been used in the manufacture of ceiling tiles.
