Vivaldi Potatoes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Vivaldi potato is a variety of potato developed by a company called Naturally Best, based in Lincolnshire, UK.
Lab studies have shown Vivaldi to be lower in calories and carbohydrates than many other popular potato varieties. Vivaldi is also a good source of iron, protein, vitamin B1 and niacin.[1]
Vivaldi is available from Sainsbury's supermarkets and independent retailers, also in the non-retail sector, namely markets, hotels and restaurants.
The name was chosen as a reference to Antonio Vivaldi, since, as the potatoes are grown both in the UK and overseas, they are available during all "Four Seasons" of the year.[citation needed]
