Red
potatoes price in the USA
I
just knew red potatoes in the USA, eventhough
its around since hundred years ago. Spanish found this potatoes in
Perus, then brought them to Europe in 1560s.
American
farmers developed a new breed called “red Pontiac” or “Dakota
chief,” then export to the following countries:
-
Uruguay
-
Canada
-
Australia
-
Algeria
-
the Philippines
-
Venezuela
-
Mexico
Almost
all groceries sold red potatoes.
Price
of red and white potatoes is not much different in my favorite
groceries. 79 cent for red, and 78 cent for white potatoes per pound.
In
term of nutrition, both red and white potatoes is almost the same.
They contain:
-
about 150’s calories
-
vitamin C
-
Potassium
-
Carbohydrates.
However,
compared to white potatoes that red potatoes contain much more
following nutrients:
-
vitamin
B6
-
sodium
-
cholesterol free.
-
less starchy
As
far as I know people use red potatoes for soup, salads, roasting
cooking and chowders.
Which
one do you like: red or white or both potatoes?
Good to know. I like all kinds potatoes, they are really versatile in cooking.
ReplyDeleteAnd how about them french fries - yummy 😀
I love potatoes. Red potatoes over here in Ireland are called Roosters and they are floury and they don't hold their shape when they are cooked. They are good for mashed potatoes or in soup, not good for potato salad. The white potatoes are marked on the package as salad potatoes. I love them all. :)
ReplyDeleteI like them all too. I agree with Bill about different potatoes for different kinds of dishes, but to just eat with butter, my favorites are the little fingerlings.

I love red potatoes. So it's nice to know they're the (slightly) healthier choice!
ReplyDeleteI like both kinds of potatoes. I didn't know that red potatoes had a few more health benefits than the white ones. Thanks for sharing. :)

Dearest Tanza,
ReplyDeleteWe use them both and it really doesn't matter much.
The new potatoes can be boiled in the skin and used for a salad or whatever.

I love red potato, as well. Here in Russia we always can purchase it, but I don't know where it has been grown.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
For some reason, I was always under the impression that red potatoes are healthier so I gravitate to them. Personally, I try to avoid potatoes because I'm always trying to lose weight. I do love them though and I do make vegan potato salad.
