Search Results - Potato

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

The potato is a starchy, tuberous crop from the perennial Solanum tuberosum of the Solanaceae family (also known as the nightshades). The word potato may refer to the plant itself as well. In the region of the Andes, there are some other closely related cultivated potato species. Potatoes are the world's fourth largest food crop, following rice, wheat, and maize.[1] Long-term storage of potatoes requires specialised care in cold warehouses[2] and such warehouses are among the oldest and largest storage facilities for perishable goods in the world.

Wild potato species occur from the United States to Uruguay and Peru.[3] Genetic testing of the wide variety of cultivars and wild species suggest that the potato has a single origin in the area of southern Peru,[4] from a species in the Solanum brevicaule complex. Although Peru is essentially the birthplace of the potato, today over 99% of all cultivated potatoes worldwide are descendants of a subspecies indigenous to south-central Chile.[5] Based on historical records, local agriculturalists, and DNA analyses, the most widely cultivated variety worldwide, Solanum tuberosum ssp. tuberosum, is believed to be indigenous to the Chiloé Archipelago where it was cultivated as long as 10,000 years ago.[6][7]

Introduced to Europe in 1536, the potato was subsequently conveyed by European mariners to territories and ports throughout the world. Thousands of varieties persist in the Andes, where over 100 cultivars might be found in a single valley, and a dozen or more might be maintained by a single agricultural household.[8] Once established in Europe, the potato soon became an important food staple and field crop. But lack of genetic diversity, due to the fact that very few varieties were initially introduced, left the crop vulnerable to disease. In 1845, a plant disease known as late blight, caused by the fungus-like oomycete Phytophthora infestans, spread rapidly through the poorer communities of western Ireland, resulting in the crop failures that led to the Great Irish Famine. The potato was the first vegetable inherited by the early Australians, the Aborigines.

The annual diet of an average global citizen in the first decade of the twenty-first century would include about 33&_160;kg (or 73&_160;lb) of potato. However, the local importance of potato is extremely variable and rapidly changing. It remains an essential crop in Europe (especially eastern and central Europe), where per capita production is still the highest in the world, but the most rapid expansion over the past few decades has occurred in southern and eastern Asia. China is now the world's largest potato-producing country, and nearly a third of the world's potatoes are harvested in China and India.[9] More generally, the geographic shift of potato production has been away from wealthier countries toward lower-income areas of the world, although the degree of this trend is ambiguous.[10]

2. Britney Spears Crouch Potato
November 20, 2009

They say that the reason she ballooned to the point of being the butt (no pun intended) of jokes is that Britney Spears is a couch potato. But what does that even mean, a couch potato? Well, the main issue is sitting around all day and not doing much of anything. You see, the issue really has to do with our metabolism. For thousands of years, human beings pretty much did things the same way. We had to work hard for a living. I mean, we had to go to work in the fields and plow, and pull and push and do everything necessary to yank a bit of sustenance from the ground. In other words, we go... (read more)

11. Do You Risk Ingesting Lead - Mercury - And The PCBs By Eating Fish?
November 10, 2009

I remember when I was young, we used to eat several meals of fish each and every week. We would have boiled fish with white sauce. We had fish pie, and of course we had fish and chips or French fries. It seemed like we were eating fish a lot, but we liked it. Just the other day, I made a meat and potato patty, just like we used to get from the local Chinese fish shop. But I digress. However these days we can no longer afford to be eating fish so much. This is because of the pollution in our oceans and in our fish. These contaminants, like the title suggests are lead, mercury and the PCBs... (read more)
