EAGLE RIVER - A Wisconsin potato could help you eat healthier for the new year. If you're looking for something gluten-free and low in calories, a Wisconsin potato just might be your answer. Experts at the Wisconsin Potato and Vegetable Growers Association (WPVGA) say that it's a great companion for any meal.
"Potatoes are America's favorite vegetable and the fact that they are naturally fat-free, gluten-free, sodium-free, and cholesterol-free I think makes them an excellent choice for a meal; breakfast, lunch, or dinner," explained WPVGA Promotions Director Dana Rady. "Potatoes are such an important staple to Wisconsin agriculture; Wisconsin is actually the third largest potato producing state across the nation and a lot of people don't realize that."
Nearly 63,000 acres of potatoes were harvested this past season in Wisconsin alone.
