Auland potatoes are available all year round.
An idea became a successful business which is now celebrating its 10th birthday. Farmers of the fertile region around the Donau-Auen National Park developed a philosophy, according to which they are producing the best agricultural products and bringing them to market under a common brand. The brand AULAND was thus born and enjoys hence unexpected account of its consumers.
Did you know...
that potatoes come from America? They were imported to Europe many years ago. In short time potatoes became one of the most important basic foodstuff. The main reason are the numerous important substances, mainly vitamin C, which was used to defeat scurvy.
The consistence of this solanaceous plant is equivalent to the rules of modern and balanced nutrition. The calorie-poor potatoes contain only 85 calories per 100g (whereas 100g sugar contains 400 calories) and are fat free (only 0.1g fat per 100g). But there is more in this tasty vegetable: a small portion of potatoes almost covers the daily required amount of essential amino acids such as vitamin C and magnesium. It contains many B vitamins as well as fol acid and pantothenic acid, fluorine (it is known that fluorine strengthens tooth enamel), phosphorus, copper, zinc and cobalt, which activates many enzymes.
This wonderful tuber has yet more positive aspects: potatoes have due to their high kalium content a dehydrating effect and the potato fibres promote digestion. Traces of the solanaceous atropine in the raw potato salad have an anti acid effect in the stomach and thus help to fight stomach cramps and heartburn. Potatoes are rich in magnesium, which promote sleeping and potatoes combined with other vegetables can even prevent stroke.
