The Diet Spud

Filed under: in the news...

BBC News is reporting that potato known as Vivaldi (available at Sainsbury's in the UK) has been found to contain 1/3 less calories than other potato varieties.

Since nutritional values can differ among potatoes, the Vivaldi can have up to 38% less carbohydrate and 56% fewer calories than other varieties., the producers say.

The potato, which has normal levels of vitamin C and other nutrients, was originally developed from seed for a creamy taste by Naturally Best of Lincolnshire.
