Search Results - Potato

Type in a word or phrase to search:

Potato (informally tattie, tater, spud, tato, pota, spudzie or tate) is the term which applies either to the starchy, tuberous root vegetable crop from the various subspecies of the perennial plant Solanum tuberosum of the Solanaceae, or nightshade, family, or to the plant itself. In the region of the Andes, the word is also used to refer to other closely-related species of the genus Solanum. Potato is the world's most widely grown tuber crop, and the fourth largest food crop in terms of fresh produce — after rice, wheat, and maize (corn).

Endemic species diversity demonstrates that the potato originated in the area of contemporary Peru and Bolivia,[1] identified more specifically in research published by David Spooner in 2005 as an area of southern Peru, just north of Lake Titicaca.[2] The potato was introduced to Europe in 1536[3], and subsequently by European mariners to territories and ports throughout the world.[4] Thousands of varieties persist in the Andes, where over 100 varieties might be found in a single valley, and a dozen or more might be maintained by a single agricultural household.[5]

Though evidence ranging from historical records, local agriculturalists, and DNA analyses strongly supports the hypothesis that the most widely cultivated variety of potato worldwide, Solanum tuberosum tuberosum, is indigenous to Chiloe Island and has been cultivated by the local indigenous people since before the coming of the Spanish. [6] [7]

Once established in Europe, the potato soon became an important food staple and field crop. Lack of genetic diversity, due to the fact that very few varieties were initially introduced, left the crop vulnerable to disease. In 1845, a fungal disease, Phytophthora infestans, also known as late blight, spread rapidly through the poorer communities of western Ireland, resulting in the Great Irish Famine. The potato is also strongly associated with Idaho, Maine, Washington, North Dakota, Prince Edward Island, Ireland, Jersey and Russia because of its large role in the agricultural economy and history of these regions. But in recent decades, the greatest expansion of potato has been in Asia, where as of 2007 approximately eighty percent of the world potato crop is grown. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, China has become the world's largest potato producer,[8] followed by India.[9]

4. Emotional Eating and Binge Eating--the Connection
June 23, 2008

Emotional Eating is the association with food and emotions. They can be pleasant or unpleasant. The quantity of food consumed can be small or large. Binge eating is related with a large quantity of emotional eating-akin to stuffing one's face-finishing the whole bag of potato chips or the quart of ice cream. Binge eating is also usually connected with a non nutritious source of food. However, most people do not understand that their eating is emotionally based. They just think that they have an eating problem. Or they have come to accept that they are genetically predisposed to ove... (read more)

There’s nothing new under the sun, they say. Maybe they’re right. Regardless of field, most products can be broken down into a handful of categories that encompass groups of like products. A quick look at your local supermarket will firmly back up this notion. Take aisle 9 for example. You have row upon row of potato chips, all neatly arranged by either brand or type of chip. Sure you’ve got your standard chips, your baked chips, your kettle cooked chips, your corn chips and likely many other flavors and derivations. Is there a great difference in similar chips of differing brands, thou... (read more)

7. Not Every Lead Is a Good Lead-- Get Quality Leads, Fast
June 08, 2008

It is ridiculous and naive to think that every lead is a good lead. That is like saying that one size fits all—we all know it's not true. Either we find ourselves wearing a potato sack or stretching into 1980s pink spandex . There are MLM marketers out there who are just looking for an easy sale. This is what makes them bad. What you need to realize as a network marketer is that your time is worth money, not worthless leads! But I'm sure you already know this. So if you are wasting time with a lead that will never actually learn what they need to learn or buy what they need to buy, they are... (read more)

Whoever said, “You are what you eat,” could not have been more right on! Look around you and you’ll see clumps of potato chips on your neighbor’s thighs. You’ll see cupcakes on your spouse’s butt. And the beer—well, that’s on your brother’s belly. Perhaps you yourself have hips of hot fudge sundaes with whipped cream, nuts and a cherry on top! We definitely are looking like the foods we eat, and that means many of us aren’t looking so great—and so many of us aren’t feeling so great either. We’re overweight or obese, diabetic, fatigued, have high blood pressure and cholesterol, and we... (read more)
