Now compare that to rice or pasta. Neither of which contain
vitamin C and they only contain 3% of your GDA of vitamin B6. Also
good to know, potatoes are much lower in calories than rice or
pasta. With obesity levels soaring and more consumers on the
look-out for healthy options when eating out, potatoes are a
must-have on any menu. Whether you run a pub or are looking to
cater for hundreds of hungry pupils or students, Aviko's Steam
& Fresh potato range is a great starting point.
Any of our steamed potato products can easily be turned into tasty
and healthy dishes. And - by serving potatoes - you are also doing
your bit to reduce water usage. Potatoes are an efficient crop,
requiring 287 litres of water per kilogram harvested. That sounds a
lot, but isn't that bad - compared to 2497 litres for rice or the
15415 litres of water required for a kilogram of beef.
