Why Buy Frozen Potato Products?

Frozen potato products may be healthier than you think!

In any season and at any time of the day, potato products are highly popular with people of all ages.

Frozen potato products offer flexibility in cooking, are great time savers and offer consistent product quality every time with little effort and waste. They are an excellent source of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and complex carbohydrates in the form of starch. They also provide us with protein, fibre, iron and other vitamins, including folate, potassium and vitamin B6.

In fact, oven chips contain fewer calories than low fat chocolate – at 162 calories compared to 297 calories in a bar of low fat chocolate. Thick chips absorb less oil than thin ones so chunky chips are healthier!
