Did you know that in 1995 the first vegetable to be grown in space was a spud!? The Potato is a starchy, tuberous root vegetable, cropped from the subspecies of the perennial plant solanum tuberosum of the solanaceae. Potatoes are the most widely grown tubular crop, and the fourth largest fresh food produce.
Potatoes come in a large range of colors from alabaster-white, yellow and deep purple and so many other shapes, textures and sizes. These babies inspire inventive chefs to create new mouth-watering and eye-catching plates.
Potato salad is a dish made from boiled potatoes. The choice of various kinds and colors are completely up to you to decide.
