Potatoes come from Peru, where they were grown by Incas more than 2000 years ago. Spanish conquistadors brought them to show them to their king, who sent them as a gift to other monarchs in Europe. They were originally grown as a decorative plant. Today's European species originated in Vienna's botanical garden.
The eatable part of the plant is the underground growing tuber.
Individual types of potatoes differ, in addition to their taste and consistency by their ripeness term. Very early ripening potatoes are harvested at the beginning of June, and due to their delicate flavour, they are a true delicacy. Early ripening varieties also have a lot of good consumable properties, but they are not suitable for storage. Mid ripening varieties are versatile in the kitchen and storable until winter. Late ripening varieties are mainly designated for long-term winter storage.
We can offer to our customers already washed potatoes, which require much less work in the kitchen. In the fall, we also have them unwashed, and ready for storage.
Potatoes cooked directly in water lose much of the nutrients, which are leached into water, which you usually pour away. The most ideal way of potatoes treatment is steaming. When cooking the potatoes in water, try to use the water with all the vitamins and minerals for the preparation of sauces, vegetable beverages, or add it to a relaxing bath, staying in it for at least 20 minutes; it is also suitable for washing dishes, which will glisten after washing even without using any detergent.
