Potatoes "Nemo"

The potato originally comes from various landraces. These range from the Andes, from western Venezuela to Argentina in the south of Chile. In Germany, the first potatoes are said to have been cultivated around 1647 in what is now Upper Franconia.

Specifically, potatoes contain antioxidants such as the secondary plant substances flavonoids, phenolic acids and anthocyanins as well as vitamin C and vitamin B1. Potatoes cooked with their skin on contain almost twice as much vitamin C as peeled potatoes.

Cool, frost-free, dry and darkened rooms are ideal for storing potatoes. The tubers can also be stored in large quantities for weeks or even months. The optimum storage temperature is between 4 and 6 °C.
