Country Crest Welcomes The First Harvest Of New Season Irish Potatoes

admin — Mon, 20 May 2013 09:09:10 +0000

Country Crest’s Marketing Manager, Julie Curtin welcomes the company’s first harvest of new season potatoes. Irish potatoes are loved for their smooth, dense texture and rich creamy flavour. Country Crest’s New Season Irish potatoes will be available for purchase in Tesco stores nationwide from Monday 20th May through to the end of August.

Speaking about this year’s first harvest Michael Hoey, Managing Director of Country Crest Ltd. commented, “This years’ first potato harvest is later than usual due to the prolonged cold weather conditions. We are delighted and relieved that the quality of the crop remains to the same high standard that we have worked hard to maintain over the years. This is due to the expertise of our select team of potato growers whose attention to detail and consistency of crop management ensures the Irish consumer receives the tastiest potatoes on their plate”.

We love our potatoes in Ireland and so we should!. Potatoes are naturally fat free, a great source of Vitamin C, B vitamins, folic acid and potassium. Potatoes also have a low energy density(the amount of calories/kilojoules they provide per gram), which makes them ideal for helping with weight management when served in appropriate amounts. Nutrition experts recommend starchy foods like potatoes as a perfect base for a healthy balanced diet.
