Latest news from Big Barn and our producers.
Over recent years the humble potato has had a bad wrap. Which seems ridiculous considering it is a staple food for most of the world. From mash, baked, jacket, boiled and in salads, it is one food that never disappoints and is almost expected at every meal.
Potatoes are cheap, nutritious and naturally fat free. A natural source of fibre and contribute to your recommended daily intake of several vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C and B6. Vitamin B6 has several important functions, including contributing to normal red blood cell formation, normal functioning of the nervous system and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
