]]> Comment on More High-Tech Potatoes by Scott http://blog.foodtrust.com/2007/10/04/more-high-tech-potatoes/#comment-57 Scott Fri, 05 Oct 2007 18:18:01 +0000 http://blog.foodtrust.com/2007/10/04/more-high-tech-potatoes/#comment-57 It is cool, isn't it? One of these days I'll have to talk about the low-tech side of things. Using human guinea pigs for product testing purposes. We just finished one of our almost daily sensory sessions. We test every potato periodically for several characteristics like taste, texture, and appearance. I used to think all potatoes tasted the same, but not anymore, especially when they start to "go off". It is cool, isn’t it?

I think it's neat seeing farms making use of newer technology to provide a healthy, good-tasting product. That’s cool!

]]> Comment on Fresh Potatoes by Scott http://blog.foodtrust.com/2007/08/13/fresh-potatoes/#comment-26 Scott Mon, 17 Sep 2007 11:46:36 +0000 http://blog.foodtrust.com/2007/08/13/fresh-potatoes/#comment-26 Surprisingly, yes. Every potato has different characteristics. During storage these characteristics change, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. We tested each variety periodically during the year to determine which ones stored better than the others. So it took one year to complete a full cycle and another to verify the results. We determined, for example, that a potato that made a great mash in October does not make a very good mash in February. As a result there are different varieties of potatoes on our unit throughout the year. Thanks for your comment! Scott Surprisingly, yes.

Okay, just FYI, it's located in southern Tennessee, only 4 miles from the AL/TN state line. We have cotton farms all over the place, so I'm sure that would look different to you. But I think you're right, farms have a lot in common no matter where in the world they are! Wow,our farm is famous now!

Restraint is the answer. Eat good food in smaller portions. When you have low-fat it is true that you probably eat more of it, which is ironic since it doesn’t taste like the real thing.
