What is better ? Washed or Unwashed potatoes
Welcome to our very first in- store newsletter, The State of Our Plate!
We will be using this platform to bring you helpful information and tips on products that we supply.
Our first newsletter deals with the most consumed vegetable in South Africa- POTATOES.
Potatoes are sold in various sizes with multiple cultivars, grades and finishes.
At Freshly Delivered we generally sell 2 sizes, Medium Large for cooking and Large for chips.
We use cultivars like , Sifra, Mondial, Lanorma or Valor, which are all for general purpose.
Although most supermarkets and retailers tend to sell the very white potatoes that have been washed in chlorine, or a product called chip-white, we do not.
We predominantly sell unwashed or brushed potatoes that have not been dipped in any solutions and are taken from the ground.
Besides the health factor, the unwashed potato will last longer outside of your fridge, especially with the Summer Heat coming on.
So the next time you receive our delivery and the potato is a bit brown, be assured that we have your health, wellness and pocket in mind.
All you need to do is peel the potato or wash it in vinegar water if you wish to eat it with the skin.
Till next time we wish you the best, “from our store to your door.”
